LA Black Worker Center

Through Dream Summer, the DRC has provided over 900 fellowship opportunities to immigrant youth and allies and has partnered with over 265 social justice organizations across the country. Dream Summer:

Empowers immigrant youth and allies to be the next generation of social justice 
leaders through leadership and professional development, movement building, 
and on-the-ground experience in social justice organizations.
Creates a safe and healing space for immigrant youth and allies to connect 
and build with one another.
Promotes an intersectional, cross-racial, and intergenerational approach to 
social justice that addresses the needs of immigrant communities.

Fellows are placed within social justice-based host organizations and work closely with their host organization to incorporate and strengthen the role of immigrant rights issues alongside the organization’s social justice work. Over the summer, fellows engage and lead social justice efforts by aligning the call for immigrant rights alongside the unique challenges of queer and transgender communities, Asian and Pacific Islander communities, Black immigrant communities; the ongoing mass incarceration and criminalization of people of color; worker rights; and health care access for all.
