Refugee 101: An Introduction to Refugee Resettlement at the Global, National, and Local Level –  Tuesday November 15th at 10am hosted by the Community Foundation of Greater Greensboro at 330 S. Greene St. 

This popular workshop provides participants with an overview of the US Refugee Resettlement Program starting with a global perspective and working down to the local level here in Greensboro, including who is coming now, what services are available to them, and how local residents can become involved.

The workshop will be presented by Sarah Ivory, Director of the CWS Greensboro Refugee and Immigration Services Program with special thanks to our hosts at the Community Foundation. Though the event is open to all, guests are encouraged to consider making an in-kind contribution to the program (e.g. bring a warm blanket, hat/gloves, or jacket to donate to refugees this winter). Cash or checks (made out to Church World Service) also graciously appreciated.
