Community partnerships
Community Partnerships
Project Second Voice collaborates with organizations dedicated to immigrant advocacy, storytelling, youth empowerment, and systemic change.
Featured partner
United We Dream
Immigrant youth leadership, advocacy, and organizing.
United We Dream is the largest immigrant youth-led network in the United States, empowering undocumented immigrants and young people through grassroots organizing, leadership development, advocacy, and public campaigns focused on justice and systemic reform.
Partnership goals
Starting local, building lasting advocacy capacity.
The partnership is focused on establishing a local United We Dream chapter connected to the Poway Unified and broader San Diego area. By building a youth-led base locally, the work can support students and families who want practical pathways into advocacy, awareness, and community care.
- Establish a local UWD chapter rooted in Poway Unified and San Diego communities.
- Build immigrant youth engagement through accessible organizing opportunities.
- Support immigrant voices by connecting storytelling with community action.
- Increase awareness around immigrant rights, dignity, and local advocacy needs.
- Create a bridge between Project Second Voice stories and sustained organizing.
Why it matters
Stories become stronger when communities have support around them.
Youth leadership is one of the clearest ways to make advocacy feel reachable. A local chapter gives students a place to learn, organize, and build confidence while remaining connected to the families and neighborhoods that shaped them.
For Project Second Voice, this partnership deepens the platform's mission. Storytelling can preserve memory, but organizing can help communities respond to what those stories reveal. Together, the work can create long-term support systems that are compassionate, informed, and locally accountable.
Educational advocacy
Civil rights education helps young people turn awareness into action.
As part of the United We Dream partnership, Project Second Voice also connects visitors to a student-led civil rights education project created by Jonathan Wang. The project introduces United We Dream's history and mission, explains the challenges facing Dreamers, DACA recipients, undocumented youth, and mixed-status families, and frames immigrant advocacy as part of a broader civil rights conversation.
The initiative pairs research on policy, legal access, deportation defense, and citizenship pathways with reflective writing about bias and belonging. That combination mirrors the goals of Project Second Voice: stories do more than document harm; they help communities understand why advocacy, education, and youth leadership matter.

Advocacy initiative
DREAM Act Awareness & Advocacy Campaign
Through Project Second Voice and our broader advocacy efforts, we create educational campaigns designed to help students understand immigration legislation and civic issues that directly affect immigrant communities. This DREAM Act awareness campaign was created to educate students on how the legislation could impact Dreamers and immigrant families while encouraging informed civic engagement and advocacy.
The DREAM Act aims to create a pathway toward legal status and protection for undocumented youth who grew up in the United States. Many Dreamers have spent the majority of their lives contributing to their communities, attending schools, and building futures in the country they call home. Through education and awareness, Project Second Voice hopes to encourage understanding and constructive discussion surrounding legislation affecting immigrant communities.
