These recorded trainings are open to all individuals who would like to increase their knowledge of immigration-related topics and learn about helpful resources for working with immigrant populations. This is an introductory training – no prior experience or knowledge is necessary!

  • ABCs of Immigration: Our signature introductory training session provides an overview of common immigration statuses, the privileges and restrictions associated with each, and common pathways to obtain legal immigration status — including through family and humanitarian protections.
  • Resources and Benefits for Immigrants: Participants will receive an orientation to resources available to immigrants, including a brief overview of public benefits eligibility, tips in navigating the legal services landscape, information on organizations offering accompaniment and support, and available tools and materials to help immigrants navigate the immigration system and interactions with immigration enforcement.
  • Immigration Policy Updates and the Work Ahead: It can be challenging to stay current with the ever-changing landscape of immigration policy. In this session, we’ll discuss some of the many changes that have occurred in recent months both at the federal and state levels, and what MIRA Coalition’s advocacy is focused on for the future.
  • How You Can Show Up for Immigrants: This training will empower participants to be a resource and support to immigrants. Participants will also learn how to show up for immigrants by learning to effectively communicate with policymakers and legislators and uncover opportunities to take an active role as an immigrant rights advocate with the MIRA Coalition and our member organizations.
