What we do
Amplifying immigrant voices
Through Interwoven, the first teen multilingual literary magazine dedicated to immigrant voices, and our national oral history archive, volunteers can publish original writing, conduct interviews, and preserve the stories of their families and communities for future generations.
Providing tangible support
Our chapters distribute hundreds of "Welcome Kits," which provide newly arrived students with translated resources, community information, books, stationery, and small gifts of encouragement designed to help them feel supported, prepared, and welcomed as they begin their next chapter.
