Belonging is civic infrastructure.
Re-Imagining Migration builds the infrastructure of belonging inside and outside America's schools, creating environments where every young person is known, valued, and connected, and where migration is treated and taught as part of the shared human story.
How We Can Help
Our Approach
We build belonging through the infrastructure we already have.
Belonging isn't an add-on program — it's a structural condition schools can design for, the way they design for literacy or safety. We don't start from scratch. We take the civic and educational infrastructure already in place and shift what it expects of itself.
Design for the young people farthest from belonging, and you lift the floor for everyone in the building: the infrastructure that helps an immigrant-origin student see herself as a civic actor is the same infrastructure that strengthens every classroom around her.
01 Start with what exists
The schools, families, and community institutions already in every young person's life.
02 Change the norms
Make belonging an expectation of how that infrastructure operates — not an add-on.
03 Promote dispositions
The capacity to live, learn, participate and build belonging across difference.
