A Journey to Welcome

Learn what it is like to experience life as a refugee, a volunteer, or an unaccompanied minor.

As you journey through, you will hear stories of immigrants and former refugees in their own words, learn about what it is like to navigate the immigration and resettlement systems, and have the opportunity to take action in support of our newest neighbors.
