Dream Summer is an annual national fellowship of the UCLA Labor Center’s Dream Resource Center (DRC). Fellows are placed within social justice-based host organizations and work closely with their host organization to incorporate and strengthen the role of immigrant rights issues alongside the organization’s social justice work.
