Refugee 101 Training

An opportunity to come to Vickery and spend time with the ILAD BDC team and another refugee-focused organization, Vickery Trading Company, to learn and talk about refugees.

We will be covering: 

Refugee 101 (broadly, as well as some specific info on refugees in Dallas)

This will include a loss simulation

Trauma-Informed Care

Cross-Cultural Communication

The purpose of this time will be to get you, as volunteers and partners, helpful information, tips, and context as you prepare to work with refugees (or communicate with others about them). For those of you who are volunteering with us (or plan to do so), this time will go a long way in preparing you for your time with our business clients. 

We will have coffee and some breakfast snacks so please respond so we can ensure enough food is available.
