Parent Workshop hosted by Devision of Multilingual Learners

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:

 

Date	Time	Topic and Registration Link	Language(s)
3/23/2022	9-10am	Financial Aid Options	English and Mandarin
3/31/2022	10-11am	NYS Dream Act	English and Spanish
4/12/2022	11:30am- 12:30pm	Interview Skills

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. 

Date	Time	Topic and Registration Link	Language(s)
3/30/2022	5-6pm	Financial Aid 101
4/28/2022	5-6pm	Navigating High School	English
5/24/2022	6:30-7:30pm	Navigating College	English
