The Dream Resource Center at the UCLA Labor Center is now receiving applications for the Dream Summer Fellowship. This is a program that seeks to empower immigrant youth, create safe and healing spaces, as well as promote social justice work. Participants are placed in various social justice organizations. Note: “Designed for individuals aged 18-28 with a demonstrated interest in the immigrant rights movement, the Dream Summer fellowship strongly encourages applications from undocumented youth, especially those who do not qualify for DACA, as well as LGBTQIA+, Black, AAPI, Indigenous, and others directly impacted by the immigration system.”
Here are the eligibility requirements (as listed on their official website):
- “Be over 18 years old, or will be by the start of the program.
- We generally admit youth applicants from the ages of 18 to 28. We highly encourage individuals who do not qualify for DACA to apply.
- Have full-time availability for the summer (i.e., 32 hours per week).
- Have an active ITIN or SSN by the time their offer letter is received.
- Have demonstrated interest and/or experience working with the immigrants rights movement.
- Not have been an employee of the University of California within the last two years of the date of submission of the application, and cannot be a current employee. By “current,” we mean an on-going appointment with the University of California or plan to be employed during Dream Summer 2025. Being a University of California “employee” includes work-study and working on campus, i.e., working in student stores or restaurants/coffee shops. (***This rule does not apply to current UCLA students.)”
The extended deadline to apply is February 10, 2025, at 12pm PST
