The City of Boston's Mayor’s Office for Immigrant Advancement is launching its fifth program of Immigrants Lead Boston in Spring 2024.
Ideal candidates are emerging leaders committed to advocating for their immigrant community within the local City of Boston government. Participants will meet key City of Boston officials and learn how to effectively navigate local government. The goal is for these participants to become leaders in their communities, sharing what they learned with others and becoming civically active on issues that matter to them.
Applicants must be all of the following:
- City of Boston residents
- 18 years or older
- Immigrants / refugees, or children of immigrants / refugees to the United States
- Proficient in either English, Spanish and Haitian Creole
Participants must commit 3 hours a week for 12 weeks. If selected as a participant, they will receive a scholarship to honor their growth and achievements as civically engaged leaders and change agents.
Interested applicants are encouraged to apply regardless of their immigration status.
