67 Sueños Youth Mentor
<p>I became involved with 67 Sueños after realizing that migrant youth living in East Oakland were largely marginalized from the debate about immigration - abou ttheir future. I began organizing migrant youth and building safe spaces for youth to meet, feel connected and empowered as a group rather than isolated as individuals. The youth eventually formed a collective, the 67 Sueños collective and focuses on story telling and art as a way to push back against the culture of hate. </p> <p>I was born of migrant parents and have had a mixeds status family for most of my life. Immigration has always been a defining issue in my home and I take it very personally. Youth empowerment work has also been a defining labor for me. I've been involved in community groups and youth work since I was an adolecent and believe strongly that time invested in young people is time invested in our future.</p> <p>67 Sueños has brought together my pasions and skills and allowed me to support the leadership and empowerment of the youth who I feel most need this support. I hope you get achance to hear their stories and fall in love with them as I have.</p> <p> </p>
