Possible activities on this immersion include: meeting with humanitarian organizations providing aid to migrants, hiking in the desert to the border, and participating in workshops that provide a window to the everyday life of a migrant. The goal of this immersion is for students to have a personal encounter with the border, while looking through the lens of faith, in order to have an informed opinion about immigration. There will also be an opportunity for us to connect with the CSJ sisters currently in Tucson.

COVID Policies:
Vaccine Requirement: Borderlinks requires participants to be up to date on their vaccinations ( two original doses of the vaccine plus one booster) for all in-person programming and that all participants take a COVID test 3 days before travel and have a negative covid result.
COVID TESTING: A negative test result is required within 72 hours of departure in order for a student to be cleared for attendance on the immersion. Students will submit a negative COVID test result 72 hours before departure. Students who fail to meet this deadline and do not submit a COVID test will not be able to attend the immersion.
Please make sure your students’ records are up-to-date in SchoolAdmin. If you would like to upload vaccination documentation for your student, please log in to your family’s SchoolAdmin portal. If you have not uploaded any vaccination documentation to the school, we will assume that your student is not vaccinated and thus unable to participate in this immersion.
