Social context: immigrant legal services center, versus "clinic"

Explanation:
Greetings... ahalan wa sahalan...

In the customary social and political context (at least as pertains much here in the US), the more-suitable equivalent terms would be "services center" or "immigrant legal services center," rather than clinic (in the usual medical sense)

A "clinic" in that context usually refers to an internal section of such a center. A "clinic" schedules and provides classes or workshops to the communities which the center services on features of immigration laws and citizenship.

Hope this helps.

On-site support of social services clinics and workshops to their ethnic communities

Explanation:
as per the description below for the "Immigration Law Clinic
" I prefer to suggest this term

The Immigration Law Clinic was established in 1981 by the School of Law. James Smith has been the head of the program since its beginning, and Amagda Perez has since joined Professor Smith as co-director and supervising attorney. The year-round Clinic provides community education, free legal services to low income immigrants facing deportation, and a clinical legal education for King Hall's students.
