Navigating Academic Success for Refugee Students  

 

Workshop goals 

Refugee youth experience many challenges upon arrival in the U.S., from school drop out to exposure to gang violence. The success and safety of refugee youth largely depends on the support they receive from family, community, and schools. A strong educational foundation leads to improved self-esteem, better job prospects, and long-term self-sufficiency. You are invited to attend a 2 hour training for educators, service providers, and other adults serving refugee youth. NAC staff will provide background information on some of the top 20 refugee arrivals and tools to help maximize student learning. 

 

Training goals 

Participants will have an opportunity to learn about: 

  • Educational experiences of new and emerging refugee populations 

  • Themes, trends and differences across over 17 different refugee groups 

  • Share and exchange knowledge and experiences with other practitioners 

  • Group activities to facilitate greater awareness of cultural competency 

 

Participants will receive: 

  • A Cultural Backgrounder Packet featuring 17 different refugee groups 

  • Resource list and materials to continue learning 

 

Date: Wednesday, May 13, 1-3pm OR Thursday, May 28, 10 am – 12 noon
