This hour and a half training builds on the new toolkit Welcoming and Advocating for Afghan SIVs and Other Afghan Refugees (“SIV”) and Other Afghan Refugees, tailored for UCC congregations that want to engage effectively in support for Afghan SIVs and other Afghan refugees being resettled to the United States.

The training will include stories and insights from refugees resettled by UCC churches, UCC churches who have built successful refugee ministries, and migration professionals concerning effective ways that churches can make an impact.
Presenters will include Seo Conrad, a former refugee from Laos; Rev. Carolyn Lambert from the Maine Council of Churches; Irene W. Hassan of UCC Refugee and Migration Services; Katie Adams of the UCC Washington, D.C., Domestic Policy Advocacy Office.

They will offer tailored resources for UCC congregations to take action and take questions from churches wanting to build responsive ministries. Participants will walk away with confidence for action in response to the call to help.
