Make a Move (Toma el Paso)
Make a Move (or Toma el Paso in Spanish) is a board game that teaches unaccompanied immigrant minors (UIMs) about the release from detention process. The game introduces players to the 3 pathways for release from a juvenile shelter as well as events and actions that could speed up or slow down your approval for release.
Make a Move is currently being used with UIMs as part of the Immigrant Children’s Affirmative Network (ICAN) curriculum, which is managed by the University of Miami's Community & Educational Well-Being Research Center (CEW) at the School of Education & Human Development.
