Civic Engagement

Our Civic Engagement Series actively encourages involvement and advocacy by the immigrant community.

• Regular short presentations throughout the center on topics including school board, Census, voting, and housing.
• Regular PSAs and webinars on topics related to immigration. These are shared on our YouTube page.

Client Leadership Council

At Neighbors Link, more clients are taking on leadership roles at the center and in the community. The results have been impressive with new leaders emerging to: share their talents by leading workshops for their peers, participate in media interviews on immigration issues, organize special events, and advocate at community meetings.
