NAVIGATE: resources for MN undocumented students

Recently there has been an increase in the need for information for undocumented students. While there are many organizations working for immigrants and immigration reform, there has been little focus on students. There is one organization working for the needs of students to access all public schools, but it does not do much to inform students about the possibilities of today.

NAVIGATE, a student-led organization, is the only group that is trying to address the need for correct, Minnesota and student focused information. What is interesting too is that the students do public speaking, where safe of course, about once a week! Remarkable. There are also written documents for students to learn how to navigate the process to college in MN. And the group is also about to publish a guide for undocumented students in MN!

Here's a pamphlet that they have. The website is not working for some reason, but they have some good information there. I hope it is just a temporary thing.

All the information is free. They do presentations on college access to students, families, and those working with them such as teachers, counselors, community leaders.

The group can easily be reached: team@navigatemn.org. Props to students!
