Register (Free, but you must register)
The presenter will offer ways to establish a relationship with immigrant communities as well as ways to partner with them to conduct outreach. We will also address how fear related to the current climate towards immigrants affects outreach and share a new, free resource that supports people who conduct outreach with immigrants. Then we will learn about a specific outreach project and how it impacted the immigrant community it was intending to reach.
