The Allies of Dreamers program—the first of its kind in the nation—equips K–12 educators and administrators, higher education student affairs professionals, and community leaders who have an interest in supporting undocumented students with the historical context, theoretical foundations, and practical knowledge needed to effectively mentor and advocate for Dreamers and other undocumented youth. Responding to a growing demand for trained allies, the program prepares participants to ensure undocumented students are protected, fully included in K–12 schools, and supported as they access college and successfully transition to further study and the workforce.

Become a Teacher. Make an Impact. Transform Your Community.

The Haseya Teacher Preparation Program supports selected Native Americans who are ready to become educators and make a difference in their communities.

Haseya provides a generous financial support package to help participants earn both a California Preliminary K–12 Teaching Credential and a Master’s degree in Education. Participants also receive new-teacher mentorship and ongoing professional support as they transition from preparation into the classroom.

More than a pathway to a degree and credential, Haseya prepares participants to become highly effective, transformational educators—teachers equipped to inspire students, strengthen schools, and promote educational excellence in Native American and other communities.

Your path to becoming a teacher can start with Haseya.
