We are living in a time of ongoing uncertainty for the immigrant community. Threats of ending DACA and stalled federal immigration policies make us yearn for stability. We will continue to share updates on DACA as we receive them, but we want you to know that we are here for you—with or without DACA.

We want to help you prepare for a future without DACA. This webinar series will cover a range of topics—including immigration law, education, mental health, and entrepreneurship—to equip you with tools that can help you move forward with your life.
Most of our resources are created for those without DACA! Whether it’s learning about the long-term immigration options, starting your own business, or taking care of your mental and emotional well-being, we’ve got your back in your undocu-journey.
