Asylum seekers often face hurdles in adjusting to the United States. The immigration process is lengthy and intimidating. That is where you come in. By walking alongside a family you can help make the transition to America much easier. By serving as a guide you can be an encouraging voice and a help to those who are new to America. You are the best person to show a newcomer the places of importance in your community!

  • Leadership
