College Park. Again. he had to pay for it all. There was no government assistance since he is undocumented. He is working now on a bachelors degree in business management. He runs the Achievers Mentoring Program. It is an afterschool program to advise middle and high school students on how to get into college. Yannick is also a volunteer for United We Dream. the largest organization of undocumented young people such as himself in this country. He was a leader of the campaign to pass the Maryland DREAM Act. which allows Maryland residents who are undocumented to pay inState tuition. That is the only break he can get. and it comes from the State. Keep in mind that Yannick is undocumented. So he doesnt qualify for any financial aid from the Federal Government. Yet he is trying to make a life. Here is what he said in a letter: DACA means dignity. More than making money. having a job gives you dignity and selfrespect. I want to work for what I have.
