Youth Grants
Immigration Exchange Dinner
December 2016
The Immigration Exchange Dinner will introduce mainstream and Latino community members, both youth and adults, and allow them to get to know each other through learning about one another’s immigration stories, dining together and having facilitated conversations. The six youth that put forward this project proposal have participated in a similar youth only dinner and were eager to expand it to more people in the community. This project proposal was enthusiastically supported by the YouthBank team as they feel it perfectly fits the theme of “creating community connections,” creates cross generational interactions and raises the discourse around the topic of immigration.
