TRAINING & EDUCATION
Leadership Without Borders provides Undocu Ally training and additional resources for UW faculty and staff as well as for other institutions of higher education and school districts to develop a better understanding of how they can build more supportive environments for undocumented students.
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.
