How We Create Change

Grassroots Organizing

We build the power of undocumented youth in NYC through our Organizing Team and Dream Team Network. Dream Teams are advocacy hubs led by undocumented students, based in high schools and colleges. We also build power through grassroots fundraising.

Art & Self-Expression

We create spaces and opportunities to express ourselves creatively and build community. These spaces include workshops on creative writing, dance, support group, and photography.

Leadership Development

Undocumented youth lead and run all of our programs, learn to organize our communities, and lead campaigns. Through political education, we deepen our members’ ability to recognize, analyze, and challenge systems of oppression.

Educational Advancement

We support undocumented students with pursuing higher education, and advocate to increase access to higher education. We partner with school and college educators to create safe and equitable learning environments for undocumented students.
