We were honored to host the Guilford Triad Coalition Meeting, coordinated by Legal Aid of North Carolina’s NC Navigator Consortium.

These meetings are a wonderful opportunity to connect with fellow community-serving organizations, learn about the services they provide, and identify ways we can work together to strengthen our communities.

At this meeting, we had the opportunity to learn more about the important work of three organizations serving immigrant and refugee communities in Greensboro and explore how we can support their efforts.

A special thank-you to the NC Navigator Consortium staff for coordinating such a successful meeting, Nancy Baron and Endy Mendez!

And a huge shout-out to our panelists for sharing their expertise and highlighting the incredible work their organizations are doing in our community:

Maria Rosales, Ph.D. — FaithAction International

Jocelyn Romina Santillán-Deras — UNCG Center for New North Carolinians

Cathryn B. Bennett, Ph.D. — New Arrivals Institute

We are grateful for the opportunity to learn, connect, and collaborate with organizations working to ensure immigrant and refugee communities have access to the resources and support they need.

Yesterday, Christina Yongue represented Cone Health Foundation at a Career Fair hosted by the Aggie Upward Bound Summer Program. She shared a little about the career opportunity of working in Philanthropy, and what areas the Cone Health Foundation prioritizes.

Students had insightful questions; such as, “What are the pros/cons of your job? What makes you afraid on your job?” It was a lively, authentic discussion!

Other career professionals in the room answered similar questions relating to social workers, foster care management, and directing school sports and athletics. More careers were featured in other classrooms.

“Upward Bound is a federally funded TRIO College Prep Program that supports high-school students in developing the academic skills, confidence, and college-going knowledge needed to graduate from high school and succeed in higher education. During the summer, Upward Bound typically offers an intensive program of academic courses (English, math, science, etc.), workshops on college admissions and financial aid, study skills, mentoring, and enrichment activities designed to strengthen readiness for postsecondary success.” (https://www.ncat.edu/academics/summer-sessions/summer-camps.php)
