The following five organizations will each make 15 minute presentations: 

Project Kesher 

In 1989 Project Kesher was founded to support a growing network of Jewish women leaders in the former Soviet Union. Project Kesher Israel (PKI) has taken on a major role in settling Ukrainian immigrants, particularly exploited women and children, and providing for their immediate medical, mental health, legal, and educational needs.

Prospera Community Foundation 

Prospera partners with Latina women entrepreneurs to launch social enterprises that foster cooperation, economic independence, and well-being in immigrant communities throughout the Bay Area. Prospera addresses challenges faced by Latina immigrants by offering Spanish-language business support, mentorship, and a peer network.

Canal Alliance works to break the generational cycle of poverty for Latino immigrants and their families by lifting barriers to their success. Over the past six years, among all Bay Area counties, Marin has had the highest per capita number of unaccompanied minor youth released to sponsors. The Immigration Legal Services team is the only provider of  urgent free immigration legal services in Marin County to unaccompanied minor youth.
