The Guiding Star Challenge
Introducing Guiding Star and the Guiding Star Challenge 🌟
We’re so excited to share Guiding Star, a beautiful new song created by the band I Draw Slow in partnership with the Coalition of Irish Immigration Centers (CIIC). This song conveys a powerful message of belonging, love, and community.
Just as our centers are guiding stars, offering support, connection, and care when it’s needed most, we believe you are a guiding star too.
