Undocumented Youth Redefine Education through Community
We give immigrant youth the trust, power, and tools to create the change they want to see.
We sat in conversation and answered questions about our roles as community educators. We talked about how we empower immigrant youth through leadership development, educational advancement, and self-expression. We shared our own experiences as undocumented youth in New York City schools; spoke about the lack of resources available for undocumented high school students; and how we support and educate each other through community.
