Youth Organizing Committee
The MIStudentsDream Youth Organizing Committee is a student-led group. We focus mostly on:
Advocating for immigration & education justice within K12 schools in metro Detroit
Building relationships and connections with youth across different schools and from different backgrounds
Creating a space for students to talk about and take collective action around issues in their schools
Some of our work so far has included:
Training teachers on how to support immigrant & undocumented students
Working with Detroit Public Schools Community District on making their enrollment form more accessible to undocumented families (We recently had a victory of working with the district to remove its question about citizenship from the enrollment form!)
