WEBINAR: Supporting Immigrant Youth to Thrive

Immigrant youth are leading with resilience as their communities endure relentless attacks on education, economic opportunity, and safety. This Thursday, September 25, we’re co-hosting an action-focused discussion [[link removed]] with Grantmakers for Thriving Youth to hear directly from immigrant youth leaders about how they’re responding and what philanthropic partners, policymakers, and the rest of us can do to better support them. Special shout out to one of the speakers, Andrea Anaya, a Changemaker with ND4Y!
