Are You Participating in the CCUSA Innovation Challenge?

The Innovation Challenge seeks to inspire member agencies within the
Catholic Charities network to propose a fresh workforce
development-specific solution toward alleviating or reducing
poverty. Proposals will be accepted in three categories based on
agency size and must recommend new and innovative approaches rather
than expand upon current programs. Applications are due Friday,
February 10, 2023, at 11:59 p.m. ET.

Join us as we discuss the immigration process and the rights of

families within the child welfare system and the resources available
for this population. We will highlight policies that provide context
for the UAC process to include the description of who unaccompanied
children are, the implications of current policies, and strategies
that help change the narrative. Also, we will discuss how to
activate community members in supporting unaccompanied children.
