A bridge between migrant families and Chicago schools.

A Community Manager for Chicago Public Schools, Victoria Infante builds cultural bridges between new migrants and the city’s schools. As Chicago wrestled with an influx of 35,000 new immigrants, Victoria created a welcoming place for the school-age children who settled in the Pilsen neighborhood, welcoming parents and students to her after-school programs, and to a free store called “La Tiendita."
