The ̽����ѡ in Salt Lake City partnered with the Rape Recovery Center to increase education opportunities focused on sexual violence prevention education, focusing on engaging groups of men and boys to access vital resources and engage in group discussion.

The ̽����ѡ in Atlanta’s partnership with the Technology Career Program (TCP) at TechBridge—an Information Technology (IT) training course—has helped more than 20 refugees and immigrants to gain a head start in the rapidly growing technology industry over the past year. One recent TCP graduate, Maiwand—who was evacuated from Afghanistan last fall—has gone above and beyond in his commitment to the program, and shares with us below his journey to rebuilding his life and career here in Atlanta.
