Undocumented Students deserve to pursue higher education.
We tell Immigrant Stories.

Our Mission
Inform
Students have challenges in every step of the college pipeline. Our mission is to inform our audience of the many hurdles that make the road to higher education extremely difficult for undocumented students.
Share Immigrant Stories
Immigrant stories motivate students and create awareness of opportunity. Our mission is to tell immigrant stories, from undocumented immigrants, DACA, children of immigrants, to show that we are all DREAMERS with a right to pursue higher education.
Provide Resources
Roughly half of the undocumented students do not graduate high school. Our mission is to provide resources, to undocumented and DACA students that need support before, during, and after the college application process.
