It takes teamwork to make the dream work. There are approximately 2 million young people living in the United States without documentation, and every year around 65,000 students graduate from high school without “papers.” However, undocumented youth continue to be excluded from conversations, curriculums, and opportunities every day. This session will address ways that all organizations and programs can become more effective, responsive, and responsible in their work with undocumented and mixed status children, youth, and families. Topics may include facilitating mixed status conversations, available programs, supporting job searching, college and career steps, travel and opportunities and more.
