Rainbow Connections
Finding Peers for Asylum-seekers
About the Program
'Rainbow Connections' is our latest initiative, aimed at bridging the gap between the local LGBTQIA community in the United States and newly arrived LGBTQIA asylum seekers. Supporting asylum seekers, making them feel welcome, fostering unity and promoting understanding is the goal of the program.
What We Do
In a "buddy system," asylum seekers are matched with volunteers to practice English and get oriented in the U.S.
Our Impact
'Rainbow Connections' fosters empathetic and genuine relationships between volunteers and asylum-seekers, ultimately building a more resilient and inclusive community. Creating direct and supportive connections helps to alleviate feelings of isolation, improve integration, and positively impact the lives of asylum-seekers as well as volunteers.
О программе
«Rainbow Connections» — наша новая инициатива, направленная на установление связей между местным сообществом ЛГБТКИА в Соединенных Штатах и недавно прибывшими просителями убежища ЛГБТКИА. Цель программы — поддержка просителей убежища, создание для них атмосферы гостеприимства, укрепление единства и содействие взаимопониманию.
Что мы делаем
Мы подбираем волонтёров для иммигрантов, с целью практики английского языка и ориентации в стране.
