What We Do
Educational Resources
The Community Education Center provides youth, education and community leaders with the tools and resources they need to prepare informative and effective immigration programming. Created by educators, for educators, our annual Educators’ Immigration Resource Guide offers new and informative lesson plans, book/film reviews and other valuable resources that support the value of immigration to the United States. The Center also offers additional educational ideas, lesson plans, immigration history, book/film reviews, and links to other educational resources on our website.
