Hello Community,
Please join the Dream Center for our FINAL undocu-issues event of the year! We will discuss status, stressors, and the implications of finding out about your status at a young age.
Event Description: Many undocumented immigrants who come to the United States as young children do not learn of their undocumented status until their family discloses this information to them. Even if they do know of their status at a young age, they may not fully understand its meaning and implications until high school when their undocumented status creates barriers for college applications, internships, or employment. Discovering one’s undocumented status can be traumatic, leading immigrant youth to experience identity confusion. The Dream Center will be hosting a space to discuss how undocumented children make sense of their undocumented identity, cope with undocumented-related stress, and make their new-found feel identity less stigmatizing.
