High School Seniors: Apply to Undocu Academy

Deadline Extended: November 13, 2024

NYSYLC presents our fifth year of the Undocu Academy! The Undocu-Academy ("Academy") is a closed community group for New York City Undocumented High School youth. The Academy provides a space for undocumented youth to build community, learn from peers, and connect with community members. Through these spaces, the  Academy promotes self-expression, self-advocacy, educational advancement, and leadership development. We are a youth-led program that aims to guide undocumented youth to realize and embrace their power and agency for post-high school implementation through political education.  

The Undocu Academy provides:

• One-on-one support & check-ins

• 1-1 guidance with college and financial aid applications, 

• workshops on options after high school and life skills as undocumented students, 

• Scholarship application and research support

• Political Education Workshops 

We require students to attend 2-hour sessions twice a week and actively communicate with facilitators.
