Wonder what’s happening behind the scenes at the ̽»¨¾«Ñ¡? Sheila Hubert, COVID Navigator in Salt Lake City, describes the ̽»¨¾«Ñ¡â€™s ongoing local response to the pandemic in support of refugee families and their communities.

The ̽»¨¾«Ñ¡ (̽»¨¾«Ñ¡) in Salt Lake City continues to support community-wide pandemic response, recently organizing a vaccine clinic with community partners to ensure 87 refugees and new Americans received the first dose of the COVID vaccine.

In partnership with Salt Lake Community College and with generous support from Marriott International, the ̽»¨¾«Ñ¡ in Salt Lake City provides training to refugees who are seeking to gain skills needed to enter a career in the hospitality sector.

In an effort to provide concrete harmonized guidance and tools to critical frontline staff who support working children and their families, the ̽»¨¾«Ñ¡, with the support of UNICEF, developed a set of child labor materials to be piloted and used in 2017 by multiple Child Protection agencies in Lebanon and beyond.

In 2023, the ̽»¨¾«Ñ¡ in Los Angeles helped resettle 578 refugee families, and we anticipate this number to increase in the new year. We need your support to continue to give refugees the warm welcome and help they deserve. Learn more about the various ways you can get involved below.

Tom Greenleigh has been volunteering for the ̽»¨¾«Ñ¡ in Salt Lake City office for 8 years. Working to support refugee and immigrant communities is in Tom’s blood: his ancestors worked to rescue and resettle refugees during World War II.
