Welcome to the Michigan Immigrant Youth Conference
This year, the Michigan Immigrant Youth Conference is growing—
expecting a 20% increase in participation, with over 240 youth
from across the state. Expanded workshops will cover college access, mental health, and civic engagement, with a stronger emphasis on collaboration between schools, youth leaders, and community organizations.
​
Schools can get involved by promoting the event, helping with
transportation or chaperoning, encouraging staff attendance, and
sharing relevant district resources or opportunities with students.
No matter where you're from,
you are part of our Michigan community.
What to Expect
United means we are never alone.
Supportive Community
Students will build authentic
connections with peers who have
firsthand experience with the
challenges of immigration and
adaptation.
Culturally Relevant Resources
Participants will have access to
tools that support success in
school, career pathways, and
personal well-being.
Valuable Skill-Building
Workshops and interactive
sessions help youth strengthen
their leadership, communication,
and advocacy skills.
Youth Voice and Empowerment
Young leaders are encouraged to
speak up, organize, and envision an
welcoming Michigan where all of us can thrive.
On this land,
there's what's worth living for.
