Who Are We?

CrossingBarriers develops the leadership skills of immigrant youth and activists to improve education and other systems. We provide leadership development training through community organizing and working on projects to address and over come systemic barriers immigrants face in order to succeed in their schools, community and achieve their goals.

We work with students, youth and community activists in Minneapolis, St. Paul and surrounding counties in Minnesota. We help empower them and their families who are committed to contributing positively to the long term stability and success of their education and community. We also address immediate issues concerning the community through community organizing approach which is led by the students and activists. The leadership skills learned here have been empowering for our youth leaders and activists. It helped them achieve their education and career goals successfully.

The foundation and backbone of CrossingBarriers is its community support of student volunteers and activists. Each program we have is directed by and for the needs of the participants. They tell us what assistance they need for advocacy and leadership development and CrossingBarriers facilitates the process to address their concerns.
