Immliaison
About the Program
Immigrant Liaison also known as "ImmLiaison" was created through CUNY-IIE's collaboration with the New York State Youth Leadership Council (NYSYLC) and their educator team, Teach Dream, to start the first immigrant liaison program in New York.
This initiative created Immigrant Liaison positions across New York City middle and high schools to support the needs of immigrant students, families, and caregivers across the state, especially those who are undocumented.
What is an Immigrant Liaison?
An immigrant liaison is a part-time (or possibly full-time, if needed) position in a school created to offer support for immigrant, and especially undocumented, students and their families and caregivers. This initiative was launched in the 2020-2021 school year. In the spring of 2021, immigrant liaisons were created in three New York City public high schools. In the spring of 2022, the program was expanded to two NYC public middle schools.
