Leadership Without Borders

Community Partners

The LWB Office actively works to connect with community organizations and other educational institutions to create a broader support network for undocumented students. Our community outreach efforts expand the ways we welcome and serve undocumented students and strengthen our partnerships.

One of the key services we provide is referrals to other services and resources that are available to undocumented students on campus and the community. Whether you are searching for more information about DACA/DAPA or have questions about where and how you can access health services, we can help you to connect with allies and organizations that can directly provide you with the support you need or guide you in the right direction.

We want to thank our partners for their ongoing commitment to work with and for undocumented students. We invite you to learn more about their inspiring work and stories as well as the services and resources they can provide you.
