In this session, two immigrant high school students and Green Card Voices' Executive Director Tea Rozman Clark will share about how the book series “Green Card Youth Voices” helped empower young immigrants through sharing their stories. In 2016, GCV partnered with Wellstone International High School in Minneapolis to record and publish 30 stories written by immigrant students. This model has been replicated in Fargo, ND and St. Paul, MN. It is specifically designed to meet the needs of recently arrived immigrant students. You will see the broad impact of the project as it directly strengthens young immigrant voices while also working to navigate this particularly divisive time in our history.
Green Card Voices (GCV) is a Minneapolis-based nonprofit that shares first-person immigrant stories in order to foster tolerance and understanding between immigrant and nonimmigrant communities.
