The Kino Teens is a network of clubs at high schools that provide students across the country the opportunity to accompany migrants, participate in educational activities with an emphasis on understanding their stories, delve into the complex issues surrounding migration, and defend migrant rights through advocacy. Kino Teens seek to embody the heritage of Padre Kino who was a defender of native peoples and a protector of their rights.
For directions on how to form a Kino Teen club or inspiration for new activities at existing clubs, see our Kino Teens Guide.
Kino Teens plan activities in three dimensions
- Share: Humanize the reality of migration by listening to and sharing the stories of migrants wherever they live
- Accompany: Be with migrants on their journeys by being present with them in conversation, community, and prayer.
- Defend: Advocate for the rights of migrants and more humane, just, and workable migration policies locally, regionally, and nationally.
