Duration

Description
Many children from immigrant backgrounds face challenges in schools due to poverty, language barriers, and unfamiliarity with the education system. With educators lacking understanding of how to support them, students experience stress, which negatively impacts their school performance. ImmSchools, an organization founded in 2018, fills a critical gap in the field by providing resources and professional development to school districts, leaders, and teachers, focusing on supporting immigrant students. With Corporation support, ImmSchools will triple their annual reach to meet growing demands from educators in the states. In response, they will provide educationalworkshops to more than 15,000 educators, students, and families, fostering informed communities, improving education access, and advancing immigrant civic integration.

Description
The 5million students who are undocumented or live in a household with at least one undocumented parent face challenges in schools due to poverty, language barriers, and unfamiliarity with the education system. With educators lacking understanding of how to support them, students experience stress, which negatively impacts their school performance. This grant will be the Corporation’s first to ImmSchools, an organization founded in 2018 that fills a critical gap in the field by providing resources and professional development to school districts, leaders, and teachers, focusing on supporting immigrant students by creating safe schools. The grant’s intended impact includes expanding ImmSchools’ reach to thirty-fiveschools in New York City, Camden (NJ), San Antonio, and Dallas (TX), enhancing the competencies of school leaders and educators in supporting immigrant students, strengthening partnerships between schools and families, and increasing access to local services for students and families.
