Since we started work in August 2005, Liberty's Promise has served 125 young immigrants from 38 different countries through internships and civic education. We believe the experiences of our participants offer a compelling demonstration of our impact. Each one of our young immigrants has a story, and sometimes it's not a pretty one. We work with refugees from war-torn countries and asylees fleeing political persecution, young people who lost everything to civil strife. We also help adolescents born here to immigrant parents, young people whose parents can't help them explore a career because they're too busy working more than one job to keep a roof over the family's head. We believe the best we can do is give these young people an opportunity, a chance to work, to learn about the civic life of their communities, to achieve their American Dream. What follows is the path that some of our participants have taken to achieve those dreams.
