Educators

Leadership Without Borders (LWB), founded on 2014, is dedicated to build a comprehensive pathway for undocumented students’ access and success at the University of Washington and beyond. As part of this work, the LWB Office established the Undocu Ally Training & Education program to provide UW faculty and staff, as well as other institutions of higher education and school districts, with resources and best practices to build a supportive environment for undocumented students.

Undocu Ally Training & Education Program

LWB’s Undocu Ally Trainings presentation highlights the best practices we have implemented over the last 10 years to provide resources and excellent support services to undocumented students. In addition, the presentation also covers the following:

  • Narratives of undocumented students and their families.
  • An overview of the history, policies, and current issues impacting this student population.
  • Why and how to be an ally to undocumented students.
  • Strategies and models to support undocumented students.
  • Recommendations for how to personalize and adapt best practices.

You can visit our Undocu Ally training for UW Staff & Faculty to learn about our upcoming training and programs.

Trainings for Educators & Institutions

Leadership Without Borders has also developed additional training to support universities, colleges, and school districts interested in raising the awareness of their own staff and faculty and/or develop their own Undocumented Student Programs.
