The NYSYLC envisions an inclusive society where currently- and formerly-undocumented youth belong, thrive, and are unafraid.
We give undocumented youth the tools and space to organize and create change in our communities.

Grassroots Organizing
We build the power of undocumented youth in NYC through our Organizing Team and Dream Team Network. Dream Teams are advocacy hubs led by undocumented students, based in high schools and colleges. We also build power through grassroots fundraising.
Leadership Development
Immigrant youth lead NYSYLC programming, learn to organize our communities, and build campaigns. Through political education, we deepen our members’ ability to recognize, analyze, and challenge systems of oppression.
Educational Advancement
We support undocumented students in pursuing higher education, and advocate for equity in our education system.
We partner with school and college educators to create safe and equitable learning environments for undocumented students.
Art & Self-Expression
We create spaces and opportunities to express ourselves creatively and build community. These spaces have included support groups and workshops on creative writing, dance, and photography.
