A diverse group of community leaders, educators, and advocates will gather to celebrate the successes of young refugees here from over 40 countries around the world. Attendees will learn about the opportunities our city has to welcome and support these newcomers. Dr. Yehuda Sharim, Scholar at the Kinder Institute for Urban Research and a project leader for Houston in Motion: Empowering Houston’s Migrant Communities, will speak about the rich diversity refugees bring to our city, the complex process of adjustment, and the programs that can ensure that refugees adapt and succeed.
