واردان که با حمایت کننده گان اجتماع خود کار می کنند ۵ | Five Tips for Newcomers Working with Community Sponsors

Refugee Welcome Collective is proud to offer a new video series with practical advice for newcomers in community sponsorship. We know that the most valuable knowledge comes from those with lived experience. Our partners at USAHello interviewed refugees across the country about their experiences with community sponsors. Their collective knowledge and advice are shared in this video series to help prepare our newest neighbors for a positive start.
