Upcoming Workshops for Students and Families
Student Workshops
NYC has such a rich immigrant community and rarely do our students get to see themselves
reflected in the greatness that manifests in their schools, communities, and greater NYC.
Through citywide student engagement, thousands of high school students will be able to opt
into a series of workshops to help them understand their rights, the postsecondary options
available to them, and the appropriate steps to take to plan for the pathway of their choosing.
Please review and share our upcoming virtual workshops for students:

Family Workshops
Families and caregivers play a significant role in supporting the postsecondary preparation and access of their students . However, the entry point and resources are not always clear, easily accessible or center the experience and needs of immigrant, undocumented, and mixed status families. Through citywide immigrant family engagement, we aim to ensure families have ongoing workshops and resources to help them safely navigate high school and understand the amazing possibilities for their students after high school.
