Know Your Rights Campaign
Indian American Youth Leadership’s Know Your Rights (KYR) Initiative is a nonpartisan educational program designed to empower immigrants from diverse nationalities by providing a clear understanding of their legal, civil, and civic rights. Through digital resources and community partnerships, KYR equips students with practical knowledge on topics such as student rights, interactions with law enforcement, immigration-related protections, and civic participation. Additionally, IAYL has partnered with Patel & Samatova Law, PLLC, a local immigration law firm, in order to expand the campaign's reach and serve immigrants in the Charlotte area. We thank them for their cooperation and support of the campaign, and look forward to working with them again soon. More information and resources are available through our website and social platforms.

Research Internship
The Research Internship focuses on studying key issues to identify unique challenges and opportunities for growth. Interns will gather data through community engagement, surveys, and analysis of existing resources and needs.

This plan will serve as the foundation for the other cohorts to build upon. Interns in this cohort need to be curious, analytical, detail-oriented, and empathetic to understand and address the community’s needs effectively. Applications closed
