Dear Friend,

Please join us for our first virtual New York Benefit to support our work with unaccompanied and separated immigrant children featuring a special line-up of performers, authors, storytellers, and speakers that includes comedian, director, producer, writer, and Broad City actress Ilana Glazer, award-winning authors Isabel Allende, Maaza Mengiste, and Valeria Luiselli, artist Nicolas V. Sanchez, storyteller Nestor Gomez, Young Center Founder and Executive Director Maria Woltjen, Young Zheng Sullivan, after whom the Young Center is named and more. If you’re unable to attend the event, please consider donating to support our work.

Donations and ticket purchases will be matched up to $125,000 through the generosity of Michael Becker and Tee Scatuorchio, Joan and Michael Frankel, the Young Center Board, and an anonymous donor.

Save Your Spot

P.S. In case you missed our email last week about DHS and DOJ's proposed asylum regulations and how you can defend the right to asylum for children, you can learn more and make your voice heard here. The deadline to submit a comment opposing the government's proposed changes to the asylum system, which would decimate asylum in the United States, is Wednesday, July 15th. Thank you for taking a stand with immigrant children.

The Young Center works with the most vulnerable unaccompanied and separated immigrant children in federal custody so their voices are heard and their best interests are protected. We also advocate for an immigration system that treats children as children.To learn more about our work, visit theyoungcenter.org or follow us on social media. Click here to donate.
