27:57
如果你有興趣成為代課老師或喜歡照顧小朋友,今集節目非常適合你!本集節目將介紹啟明的幼兒教育在職培訓計劃 (英文簡稱為STEP),專門培訓0-5歲小童的代課老師。啟明的人力資源主任Sabrina將講解計劃的一大優點:申請時不需要早期幼兒教育(ECE)學分,大大降低了入行門檻。在帶薪及享有福利的情況下,你可以學習幼兒教育知識並增加經驗,為成為代課老師做好準備。 此外,另一位訪談嘉賓是一位曾經參與STEP計劃的代課老師Anny將分享從報名、接受培訓到最終配對雇主的心路歷程,鼓勵新移民勇於嘗試這個在職培訓計劃。值得一提的是,三藩市在2018年通過了提案C,使低收入和中等收入家庭更容易獲得受資助的托兒服務,並加強對托兒服務者的保障和福利。市政府計劃在2025年將托兒服務者的最低時薪提高到28美元,吸引…

在當今時代,擁有一個可靠而廉價的互聯網已不是奢侈品,對於學生、年輕父母、甚至是長者來說,都是生活中不可或缺的一部分。根據華促會的-項調查,近一半的三藩市華埠家庭沒有訂閱寬頻互聯網,而且許多已連接網絡的家庭經常面臨網速緩慢和不穩定的問題。在本集節目中,散房居民Zoey將談到缺乏可靠網絡如何影響她和孩子的日常生活及心理健康。此外,我們邀請到市參事佩斯金的助理Calvin Yan探討市政府如何介入及提供支援。「光纖到住房」項目是其中一個成功例子。這個項目為華埠五棟可負擔房屋進行安裝項目,為租戶帶來更快速、更穩定的互聯網服務。總括來說,我們需要社區的支持,敦促市政府、網絡供應商及業主共同合作,確保所有社區都能獲得可靠、高速的寬頻網路。 我們需要你的支持!請填寫以下表格並簽署華促會致市長及市參事的請願…

第二十一集 | 美墨邊境走線者的故事: 追逐夢想與更美好生活 | EP21 | Chasing Dreams & A Better Life: Chinese Migrants at the Southern Border
24:41
自去年以來,超過24,000名中國移民經墨西哥邊境進入美國。由於中文服務資源有限,華促會受到聖地牙哥的人道組織邀請,分別於去年十二月及今年三月前往當地為這一批中國移民提供支援。今年三月的最新情況:聖地牙哥移民中心因資源匱乏問題而關閉,導致移民滯留於偏遠的交通站點,與家人團聚成為一項艱鉅的挑戰。華促會團隊從三月十二日至十四日每天向約四百名移民提供直接服務。我們也訪問了幾位走線者,探討她們冒著生命危險前往美國的原因。身為移民,我們秉持同理心,聆聽並述說她們的故事。希望從華人的角度講述這些故事,與主流媒體的報導有所不同。這些走線者其實和我們一樣,為了追求更好的生活而勇敢奮鬥,追尋著美國夢!

移民議題在公共政策論述及新聞報道當中,很容易簡單地被理解成兩黨政治化的議題,簡化為冷冰冰的立法草案。受到移民政策影響的家庭以及他們的故事往往被主流忽視,只是被還原為一個個數字號碼。 推動移民體系改革的法案的路非常漫長,然而無數的移民家庭及社區依然繼續堅持,面對日常生活所帶來的挑戰,持續推動爭取移民改革。今天的節目延續上一集,繼續關注華裔無證移民社區,一群相對沈默的無證群體。 我們邀請了代表東岸紐約市的亞裔無證青年團體的代表Ru,希望通過她的移民故事及在美國的生活經驗,讓我們對無證移民社區有多一份的理解。這一集以普通話錄製。Immigration is often seen as simply an increasingly partisan topic of debate in politi…
