“Collaborating with Dream Summer has manifested into an array of advantages for our organization. All fellows have successfully managed to connect the LBIRC with the community in a very holistic manner. The staff at the LBIRC have been able to provide close mentorship for all Dream Summer fellows, which has led to the development of cross generational and intersectional services for the Long Beach immigrant community.
—Dr. Kristine Zentgraf, Executive Director, Long Beach Immigrant Rights Coalition
