UURISE recently published a toolkit for educators, counselors, and advocates to help students navigate immigration-related challenges and concerns. UURISE is a nonprofit organization based in Southern California, which provides a wide range of resources and services for immigrants, refugees, and allies. In addition to providing an overview of key terminology and policies, the toolkit includes helpful information and resources for knowing how to support students through common scenarios. This includes the following:
- How to support a student who may be undocumented, DACAmented, and/or from a mixed-status family, but has not self-disclosed their status
- How to support a student who may be struggling financially and does not have valid work authorization
- How to encourage an undocumented student’s future
- How to connect students to the DREAM/Undocumented Resource Centers at their future colleges/universities
- How to support other areas that have a direct impact on students
To access the toolkit, UURISE asks to complete a brief Partner Agreement, which acknowledges the method by which UURISE will offer this resource: that you may share these resources and information with your students, as long as you do so free of charge to members of your community.
