SUMMARY:Maine Immigrant Youth Conference ( September 18th 2021\, 10 am to 4pm
DESCRIPTION:theme of the Conference is  “A Sense of Belonging: Building Broken Bridges” \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe first Immigrant youth conference is happening in Portland\, Maine organized by the team at Choose Yourself\, MIRC and youth immigrant leaders in the community. In the past 15 years\, there has been a large influx of immigrant families into Maine\, there are currently over 44\,000 foreign-born residents in Maine. With this growth\, we have seen an increase in challenges and needs affecting the immigrant youth who are every day participating in community building. With a simple mission to give A Voice to Maine’s Next Generation\, the immigrant youth-driven space is intended to create a diverse space where youth can feel a sense of belonging and be involved in community building. This exciting event will for the first time bring together immigrant youth aged between 15 – 35 years old who will be discussing immigrant youth challenges and needs in their communities and the education and judicial systems as well as the presentation of current innovative youth programs taking place in the different communities. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nSignificant challenges immigrant youths currently facing and hence to be tackled in this forum are: \n\n\n\nInadequacy of organizations and institutions with culture-sensitive programming for the youthLack of community integration programs that center the immigrant youth in particularNot enough resources to understand and navigate institutionalized racismLack of confidence due to language and cultural barriersLack of professional/business or entrepreneurship mentorship for the youthLack of diverse teachers in schools and youth programsCommunication and cultural barriers between parents and their children have led to increased crime and imprisonment cases of immigrant children.Lack of understanding and the interpretation of diverse culture by youth providersThe inability to afford the high cost of extracurricular programs in the stateAnd many more   \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nSessions of  the Immigrant Youth Conference \n\n\n\nThe conference will have 5 sessions \n\n\n\nMorning Sessions \n\n\n\n       1 Session 1: Mental health in the immigrant community: This session aims to deconstruct the mental health stigma within the immigrant community from the youth perspective.  \n\n\n\nRegister to attend on this link \n\n\n\n      2.
