DREAM Summer 2012 Application available

Note: Applications are due March 30, 2012!

Dear Members and Friends,

While we are building exciting momentum for the passage of New York State DREAM legislation, I want to let you know about another fantastic way to support DREAM youth.

When the DREAM Summer was launched for the first time last year, this national scholarship and fellowship program brought together over 100 DREAMers nationwide for scholarships and pretty amazing fellowship opportunities. Over 100 or so fellows were selected from a pool of over 1,000 applicants and they were connected to various community organizing and service initiatives, giving them valuable opportunities that many DREAMers have not had access to.

The host organizations got the benefit of having a talented DREAMer for 10 solid weeks. The NYIC hosted a DREAMer and it was so, so wonderful. It does take a bit of investment from the host organization, but it’s really, really worth it.  Please click HERE for more information – both for DREAMers who are interested in applying, and host organizations who are interested in sponsoring. Thank you!

Sincerely,
Chung-Wha Hong, Executive Director, New York Immigration Coalition

P.S – Applications are due March 30, 2012!
