About Us

To empower undocumented students in higher education through advocacy, mentoring and connections to social networks.

Undocumented Latino students represent one of the most vulnerable populations in the United States. According to the U.S. Department of Education (USDE), estimates indicate that 80,000 undocumented youth turn 18 and approximately 65,000 graduate from high school every year. Just 54 percent of undocumented youth have at least a high school diploma, compared to 82 percent of their U.S.-born peers. Due to a significant lack of information in the undocumented community, youth often do not know about the resources that make matriculation from high school to postsecondary education possible.

Educational success is also closely tied to a student’s ability to access social capital and a network of support. Specifically, a close connection to a positive mediator or mentor greatly improves a student’s success rate in entering and navigating higher education. Davis Dreamers provides connections to social capital and to mentors, which allows students to more effectively access higher education. Additionally, undocumented populations make significant contributions to local and national communities. Investing in these young individuals not only gives them opportunities for social, academic and professional success, but it benefits our local and state economies and makes our communities more diverse. 

Davis Dreamers is recognized as Davis County’s leading independent, nonpartisan organization dedicated to empowering undocumented students. Davis Dreamers is known as a safe space that provides up-to-date, reliable information for individuals without documentation. Davis Dreamers is distinguished by our ability to enable undocumented students to act for themselves even in the face of great uncertainty.
