Two of the biggest challenges for refugee claimants are:
Unfortunately, both of these challenges are rooted more in perceptions of refugee claimants than in their actual capabilities. Many of them were leaders in their communities, matching some of the best leaders here. Educated, capable, and making a difference, is what made them targets needing to flee.
This put their lives on hold until they could find safety and begin to rebuild and re-engage their skills.
The “T” in T.H.R.I.V.E. focuses on refugee training programs, skills development, and acceptance with an emphasis on access to the things people need to be able to engage or further their skills.
Each of these elements are just some of the things we are building in the “T” of T.H.R.I.V.E. We are also exploring refugee training programs for Financial Literacy and Driver Training Readiness. If education and literacy are passions for you, or for someone you know, let us know what you could do to help us creatively grow this pathway to thriving!
COME and add to a growing story of impact that needs no ending. COME and help us ensure that we become so valuable to our community that we could not, not, be here; that none of us could imagine being without each other.
