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!)
