LA County Immigrant Youth Toolkit

The Los Angeles County Immigrant Youth Toolkit was created in 2020 to provide a centralized list of resources for recently arrived immigrant youths and their families in Los Angeles County. It is modeled after the national AAP Immigrant Health Toolkit, and is intended as a provider-facing resource, with information for medical providers, social workers, case managers, teachers or school officials and anyone else who may work with immigrant youth and families.

On May 15, 2010, two of UCLA’s students -- Tam Tran and Cinthya Felix -- lost their lives in a tragic car accident. Tam and Cinthya were two fearless, undocumented immigrant youth pioneers that not only advocated for themselves, but also for the rest of the undocumented student population. Alongside other members, Tam and Cinthya founded IDEAS (Improving Dreams Equity Access and Success). In honor of Tam and Cinthya’s advocacy, UCLA students from the Labor Studies Department have been working on a website since Winter ‘20. As we go on in our everyday lives, let’s remember and thank Tam and Cinthya, and continue the work they left for us to finish. Now, it is up to us to continue their legacy and support student organizations like IDEAS that promote and fight for equity and opportunity for our students of color. To learn more about these fearless pioneers, check out the website at: bit.ly/immigrantyouthleaders On the website, you will find interviews, articles, videos, and resources for documented and undocumented youth.
