Immigration Workshops

Connecting to the Community

Immigration Workshops

March 1, 2018 from 3:30-5:30

Students, Teachers, and Community members were invited to attend the immigration workshops.  A lot of the outreach was done by VAPA's very own Dreamers club.  The students distributed flyers and posters in the community through local organizations and churches.  We also worked with some of the other local high schools to invite their student bodies.  Each of the total 6 schools received posters and flyers and all of the principals made announcement regarding the event.

*To ensure the comfort of our invited speakers and guests, we provided water and snacks and made sure to have translating services on hand for anyone who might need them.  Because immigration is such a sensitive topic and members of the immigrant community so often feel targeted and scared, we made a conscious decision not to video tape or photograph our workshops.
