    2024/04/06
    This podcast is committed to celebrating the immigrant's journey to the U.S.A. and the process of learning how to navigate a new culture, new language, and finding resources that lead to a happy and independent life. From new arrivals, or those who have been in the country for years, you will hear inspiring interviews with adults and their family members. Additionally, you will hear stories from first-generation Americans as well as non-profit leaders, educators, and volunteers who are deeply committed to making impact. Moving to a new country is a unique and daunting experience that takes courage and trust, but our mission is to include ALL voices, and to provide equitable space and an opportunity for them to be heard and celebrated, as well as to learn from professionals how when we work together, we can effectively support them.
