Green Card Youth Voices (Immigration Stories from a St.Paul High School)

Green Card Youth Voices: Immigration Stories from a St. Paul High School is a collection of thirty personal essays written by immigrant students from LEAP High School in St. Paul, MN. Included with each essay is a link to a first-person video narrative. Coming from thirteen different countries, these young people share their life journeys in their own words. Some fled xenophobia, others came to be reunited with family, and all left behind loved ones: parents, children, friends. Throughout it all, each of these young people exhibits tremendous resiliency, courage, and unabashed hope as they imagine their futures in this new country.
