To educate the community on issues facing local undocumented youth and heir families wishing to:

• Continue their education
• Research possible paths to citizenship
• Safely become productive, contributing members of the community

GRIP is a coalition of community volunteers working to raise awareness about immigration issues in Berks County through education, communication and advocacy.  Our primary focus is to educate the community on the issues facing local youth and their families as they seek to continue their education, research possible paths to citizenship and safely become productive, contributing members of the community. GRIP meets on the first Tuesday of each month at 5:30 pm and is open to anyone who is interested. Ask us where!

We are a community organization that educates the public on immigration reform. We are made up of community members, such as church leaders, immigration attorneys, high school and post-secondary school faculty, immigration leaders, and concerned citizens. 

We make a difference, one person and student at a time.
