A South Carolina nonprofit that helps high school students who are in the country illegally stay in school has been awarded a $25,000 grant, the Greenville News reports.
The Hispanic Alliance received the grant from the Sisters of Charity Foundation of South Carolina, a ministry of the Sisters of Charity Health System.
The group will use the funds to expand advocacy and leadership development efforts for its Student DREAMers Alliance fellowship, which works to empower and amplify the voices of young immigrants in their junior and senior years of high school.
"Our continued partnership with the Sisters of Charity Foundation of South Carolina is pivotal in driving systemic change and championing equitable communities throughout South Carolina," says Adela Mendoza, executive director of the Hispanic Alliance.
