About Lifelink's Dream Team:
DreamTeam is a student led program dedicated to supporting and advocating for Deferred Action for Childhoods Arrivals (DACA) recipients and undocumented students through, but not limited to, their college journey. We are a team of college peers, some of whom are DACA recipients, who are dedicated to provide the support, resources and network to help our community. As we continue to grow, we hope that our values and mission spreads outside of Lifelink and into our communities in New York City.
