Immigrant youth bring different cultures and perspectives to civic life in the U.S. and can benefit from learning opportunities outside of school, especially in libraries, spaces they seldom engage with. This presentation will share findings from a participatory study with immigrant youth, library, and after-school educators to support immigrant youth as they identify ways to civically engage and learn to combat mis/disinformation and fake news. I will highlight the perspectives of youth, including the support they indicated they need from staff, their interests, and how they wish to participate and develop literacy to examine digital information and respond critically.
