Who we are
The NYSYLC is a youth-led network representing high schools, colleges, communities of faith, and community based organizations committed to improving access to higher education and creating equal opportunity for immigrant youth and children of immigrants through leadership development and advocacy.
Our legislative priority is the DREAM Act; a bill that if passed would allow immigrant youth who have grown up in the U.S. to adjust their immigration status if they meet certain requirements and complete at least two years of higher education or military service.
