Empowering Immigrant Youth

The Idea

Liberty's Promise wants to host a field trip for young immigrants who live in Maryland (ages 15-21, from all over the world!) to the Maryland General Assembly. There, they will meet their delegates, sit in on a General Assembly session and learn how to stand up for the causes in which they believe.

The Specifics

The bus trip from the DC Metro area to Annapolis is expensive: it will cost over $2,000 for 100 young immigrants to attend the trip (currently, we only have funding for 40 to attend). $500 would help defray this cost and enable all 100 youth to participate and to learn, hands-on, how state government works.
