About our Training

Ally is more than a word; it's an active practice involving self-reflection and outside perspective. Join AFP and guest speaker Ivan Vega to switch from performative allyship to active allyship. In this workshop, you will:


  • Learn of the systematic inequities of the undocumented community. 
  • Embrace vulnerability and discomfort and tap into your own sense of justice. 
  • Learn how to form meaningful, authentic relationships with marginalized communities and how you can support their causes.
  • Learn strategies for building cultural intelligence. 
  • Learn how to start standing up and speaking out.


About our Speaker

Ivan Vega was born in Tlaxcala, Mexico, and raised in Oxnard. He attended Hueneme High School and Ventura College, then transferred to UC Santa Cruz. Ivan graduated in 2021 with a double major in Sociology and Latin American & Latino Studies. As an undergraduate student, he volunteered with nonprofit and student-led organizations for immigrant rights advocacy, higher education access for undocumented students, and youth civic engagement. Post-undergrad, Ivan worked with the 805UndocuFund as Ventura County Coordinator and participated in the California Pathways into Public Health Initiative Fellowship Program. He continues serving the community as the Policy and Health Equity Manager for Future Leaders of America.
