Dear UnLocal community,
Our UnLocal Springs Forward Celebration is just two weeks away! Reserve your tickets now and join us for an evening of free food, music, poetry, and more! If you are unable to attend, you can still show your support by making a donation today.
This month, we are spotlighting our dynamic Education and Outreach team and their commitment to Health and Wellbeing, Inclusivity and Interconnectedness, and the Radical Imagining of our Futures:
Health and Wellbeing:
The Education and Outreach team, along with our partners at ImmSchools, has been sharing resources and information on how to support the mental health needs of undocumented students in New York City schools. The Safe and Inclusive Schools Program (SISP) helps foster a welcoming environment for immigrant students, allowing them to thrive in and out of the classroom. This month alone, we delivered four mental health-focused presentations in New York City Public Schools through SISP.
Inclusivity and Interconnectedness:
The Education and Outreach team helps undocumented students apply for funding to attend public universities through the New York State Dream Act. In May, UnLocal assisted 154 students in applying for benefits under the New York State Dream Act and Tuition Assistance Program, helping students to receive over $35,000 in aid.
