Like his younger brother and sister, this Teton Valley âDreamerâ grew up in Teton County, Idaho. He and his siblings spoke Spanish with their parents around the house and learned English in school. All three were never far from a striking view of the Tetons.
But unlike his siblings, who were born in the United States, this 17-year-old is an undocumented immigrant. He is not eligible to vote or access most public health insurance plans. He is also not legally eligible to work and faces the risk of deportation.

With several community grants, the local afterschool nonprofit Above and Beyond the Classroom will be able to expand its program to Victor Elementary School in the 2021/22 school year.
The existing afterschool program for kindergarten through third graders is Monday through Friday at the former Driggs Elementary School, from 3 to 5:30 p.m. Acceptance is based on income criteria but spaces are also available for children who may not fall into the âat-riskâ category. ABC also offers affordable summer camp options.Â
ABC executive director Diane Temple, who has led the organization since its inception in 2018, explained that transportation is the biggest obstacle keeping many Victor families from participating in the ABC program hosted in Driggs. Many of the families that would benefit from the program work in Jackson and canât make it home from work in time to pick up their children in Driggs.
