The Immigrant Youth Project

The Immigrant Youth Project is a collaborative research study supported by the National Science Foundation and conducted by researchers at the University of South Florida and the Cisneros Hispanic Leadership Institute at the George Washington University.
-----
We are collecting stories about the experiences of immigrant young adults living in Florida to understand their social and emotional well-being.
-----
We hope to share the insights of our findings with policymakers, advocates, teachers, counselors, and community members to address the experiences of immigrant youth.
-----
The research team cares about the significance of this research among immigrant communities across the United States and we have partnered with several organizations who directly work with these populations such as United We Dream and the Florida Immigrant Coalition. here

-----
Young people are awakening to their own power and agency, and that is very bad news for conservatives in America.

"I believe the children are our are future
Teach them well and let them lead the way."

How to Put the ‘X’ in FedEx

While every company with a decent, moral corporate culture severs formal ties with the National Rifle Association in the wake of the horrific shooting that took the lives of 17 Florida high school students, FedEx stands alone. Their executives are obstinate, insensitive, and deceitful.

A Daily Beast article said drug dealers use FedEx as a distributor because of lax security measures with FedEx management having knowledge of the massive transfer of cocaine and heroin. more
