UUCF High School youth are invited to enroll in a six-session Religious Exploration (RE) course about immigration justice, which culminates in a week-long trip to Arizona to participate in the Borderlinks program. This is an opportunity for students to learn first-hand about US immigration policy and practices by witnessing the situation at the US border.
The 5-day Borderlinks program will include meals, housing, and ground transportation. The total cost will be $1,650 per person including round-trip airfare. The UUCF RE and Social Justice programs will fundraise and ask for a UUCF Endowment Fund Grant to help offset costs. Unitarian Universalist groups have worked extensively with Borderlinks and many travel programs.
