Education
LALDEF organizes
community events and
educational programs
and it develops materials
to educate the public at
large to recognize the barriers and difficulties faced by newcomers as they struggle to integrate into, contribute to and
be accepted into our society.
These programs rely primarily on the services of community volunteers, and recognized experts. Through these
programs we expect that the community at large will become more appreciative of the cultural diversity and economic
contributions that are brought by immigrants and embrace their presence.
In addition, LALDEF distributes the "Folleto de Informacion ", a Spanish-language community resource handbook, edited
by the Latin American Task Force of Princeton. Thousands of copies of the Folleto have been distributed since 1989 to new
Spanish-speaking residents of Hightstown, Trenton, Lawrenceville and the Princeton to educate Hispanic newcomers about
their rights and responsibilities as neighbors, and to help ease the process of integrating these immigrants into our
communities.Newcomers will learn how our society works by reading pertinent sections when they apply for an apartment
lease, look for day care or medical services, or go about learning English.
