  Migration

  SAN FRANCISCO, CALIFORNIA — This grant to the Tides Center will support work by the Young Center for Immigrant and Children's Rights, based at the University of Chicago Law School (and a project of the Tides Center), to lay the groundwork for a change in federal immigration and policy and practice to recognize the best interests of unaccompanied immigrant children under U.S. law. The Young Center will develop a framework for integrating best interest considerations into U.S. government decisions on unaccompanied children's cases, and recommend other modifications to the adjudication system to facilitate the protection of children.

The Maker Education Initiative grew out of the success of the Maker Faire community events in cities such as San Francisco, Detroit, and New York City.
