The Saint Ignatius College Prep chapter of Kino Teens is part of a network of clubs at high schools that provides students across the country the opportunity to accompany migrants on their journey. Our student members have the opportunity to participate in educational activities with an emphasis on understanding migrants’ stories. They also delve into the complex issues surrounding migration and learn how to defend migrants’ rights through advocacy and service. Kino Teens seek to embody the heritage of Padre Kino who was a defender of native people and a protector of their rights.
