The Migrant Advocacy Project
www.migrantadvocacyproject.orgOver the past decade, The Oakland Unified School District (OUSD) has worked to provide students with the technology that a modern day education demands and every student is given a laptop to supplement their K-12 curriculum. But as students graduate high school, the laptops are recycled back into the district for other students to use. This leaves young high school graduates without the necessary resources to pursue a higher education and has a deeper impact on immigrant youth whose legal statuses may deem them ineligible to receive federal student aid. The Migrant Advocacy Project (MAP) aims to break down the barriers immigrant youth face in their pursuit of higher education through the MAP Scholars Program, an initiative that improves digital literacy and promotes inclusion of immigrant youth at post-secondary institutions.
