NYSYLC honors 20 outstanding immigrant youth leaders!
It is the NYSYLC's mission to provide opportunities for immigrant youth to advance themselves through various support methods. Our Awards Program provided monetary support to 20 youth who aspired to be active in the immigrant rights movement and wished to continue their commitment in the coming years.
