Event
2nd Annual E4FC Educator Conference
*Online Registration is Closed*
*Tickets will be sold at the door*
Do you work with undocumented high school or college students? Join teachers, counselors, school administrators, community leaders and allies from California and beyond for a daylong conference about supporting and advocating for undocumented students.
In the past year, we have seen monumental changes for undocumented youth. With the implementation of Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) and the California Dream Act, undocumented students have access to more resources and opportunities than ever before. The challenge now for educators and allies is how do we help undocumented students access these new resources and how we do we advocate for further reform.
