The goal of the program is self-sufficiency for the refugee family and lasting friendship between the refugee family and the family partners. Our program started with Syrian families, and five years later, we have many family partners still in active relationship with their Syrian families! Today, our new family partners work mostly with Afghan families.
Come join us over Zoom on August 9th at 7pm to learn about Welcome Neighbor STL and what being a family partner with a newly arrived family is like.
