Atlas: DIY

Create a model community for immigrant youth.

Overview

Atlas DIY (Developing Immigrant Youth) is a cooperative empowerment center for immigrant youth and their allies located in Sunset Park Brooklyn but accessed nationally via the web. We challenge traditional hierarchical models of charitable and legal service nonprofits by asking those we serve to participate fully in our organization. By providing free legal resources as well as career college prep and arts enrichment activities we hope to give all young people regardless of documentation status the courage and opportunity to share their stories achieve their goals and advocate for themselves.
