* While I have not participated in the program, I have many friends who have and they loved it! Last year, the Dream Summer conducted a statewide research project about, and led by, immigrant youth to explore health needs within our communities. Their report, which I featured on my blog, was released last week:

“Recently released research about undocu/DACAmented youth“

Note: Dream Summer is open to all regardless of immigration status. Check out their official page for more information: www.dreamresourcecenter.org/dream-summer.html
