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.Â
Now we’d love for YOU to join us:
✨ Listen to Guiding Star
✨ Share this message of hope and belonging
✨ And if you’re inspired, take the #GuidingStar Challenge!
Sing it. Dance it. Remix it. Paint it.
Make it yours, and help us shine a light together.
Be sure to tag us and I Draw Slow and use #IrishInMotion, #GuidingStar, #IDrawSlow, #IrishCoalition, and #GuidingStarChallenge, so we can celebrate your creativity and share it far and wide.
Guiding Star
Irish in Motion is the Coalition's national initiative to ensure Irish immigrants and their families have access to trusted information, legal resources, and a strong community of support.
Clear information leads to confident decisions.
From understanding visa options to preparing for life changes, we help people make informed choices, grounded in accuracy and care. The Coalition combines national coordination with local connections to offer consistent, up-to-date guidance across the country.
