Speakers:

Many rural communities are home to immigrant, refugee, and asylum-seeking youth experiencing housing instability and displacement. Migrant farmworkers and youth experiencing homelessness share many similarities, and oftentimes are one in the same. Because of the nomadic nature of this work, they are disenfranchised from the law and its processes, their educational opportunities are limited, and access to resources is difficult and not understood by those who work in the youth homelessness field. Learn from experts in the movement on how to be a better advocate for immigrant communities.
