Current Information (will be updated, so check back):
Are you interested in getting more
involved in the local Latino community? Consider volunteering with
the Immigration Forum as we host several local events to educate the
public about DACA (Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals).
To volunteer, you must attend one of
two volunteer training options:
- Tuesday, August 21, 2012, 6:30-7:30pm, Parkland College, room D-244
- Monday, August 27, 6:30-7:30pm at the University YMCA
There will also be two DACA events. If
you've attended a volunteer training, we'd love your help at one or
both of these events - even if you can just come for part of the
event:
DACA Events:
- Wednesday, August 29, 4:30-7:30pm, Urbana High School
- Saturday, September 8, 10am-2pm, Parkland College, room D-244
Please RSVP with the training &
event(s) that you wish to attend, as well as your name, phone number,
and email address. To RSVP or ask for more information, contact
Cherilyn at cherilynlarsen@gmail.com, 616-745-6263, or Francisco at
francisco@universityymca.org, 217-4178-5897
While we would love to have as many
bilingual volunteers as possible, you can still help even if you
don't speak Spanish. Please keep in mind that these events will be
sensitive in nature, and know that we will ask and expect you to keep
all of the participants' personal information confidential.
Thanks in advance for your help!
