For area professionals and volunteers we provide a series of educational opportunities. Community education is fostered locally through special events and presentations at colleges, community groups, faith communities and conferences which seek to build a more welcoming community for new Americans.
Current professional development workshops include:
-
Working with Survivors of Torture: An Introduction to the Center
-
New Neighbors: An overview of refugee acculturation and integration issues
-
Bridging the Gap: Working with Interpreters

The Road to Becoming a New American: Immigration issues

Trainings and workshops can be tailored to the unique needs of your program or office. Please call for details
