About the Summit
The 2015 Summit promises to accomplish four main goals:
• Offer a unique statewide, ecumenical gathering for faith leaders who work primarily with immigrant congregations;
• Help equip these faith leaders to deal with the daily challenges faced by their congregations, especially related to their immigration status;
• Provide a space for networking and sharing of best practices;
• Train immigrant rights allies, especially in faith communities, to organize and mobilize around immigration issues.

In particular, this Summit will focus on issues affecting children, youth and their families who immigrate to this country.

This event will be completely bilingual, with all sessions interpreted simultaneously (as needed) and all written materials available in English and Spanish.
