** Serving Immigrant High School Students in the Bay Area ([link removed])

With the generous support of the Stupski Foundation (and help of Marnie the cat), Immigrants Rising is currently providing cash assistance and legal screening to more than 120 immigrant high school students in Alameda County and San Francisco through its Immigration Legal Intake Service (ILIS). ILIS is a free and confidential service that communicates directly with those who complete the intake form.

Founded in 2006, Immigrants Rising transforms individuals and fuels broader changes. With resources and support, undocumented young people are able to get an education, pursue careers, and build a brighter future for themselves and their community.
