In spite of the diverse roots that make up our country, some immigrants who come for opportunity and refugees who are forced to leave their homes are treated with disrespect or even cruelty. Young people have the opportunity to speak up and raise awareness of the beauty of diversity and value of embracing people of all backgrounds and situations. This toolkit guides youth, educators, group leaders, families, and community groups as they investigate the issue of immigration and refugees and prepare to take action.
While no two persons are the same, this can unite us rather than divide us. As citizens of a fair and just society, we have the ability to take big and small actions to help us create a more equitable world. This toolkit links to background information, activities and resources, and project ideas related to equity and advocacy.
