English for New Bostonians is running the English Innovations classes in partnership with MIRA Coalition at the local level, and NPNA, OneAmerica, and the Learning Games Network at the national level. The goal of these classes is to expand educational opportunities for immigrant youth who are potential beneficiaries of Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) policy. This class is made possible through support from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.
