My Nonprofit Reviews

As a teacher with Welcoming the Stranger, I have met students from all over the world and learned about dozens of different cultures. I have had the honor of helping students in the program meet goals such as finding jobs, earning their driver's license, and getting accepted to college. I have watched students forge friendships that cross racial and cultural barriers as they connect over the common bond of learning a new language and adjusting to a new culture. Welcoming the Stranger has made a huge difference in the lives of everyone involved, teacher and student alike. My class has become a family that helps one another, teaches one another, and deeply cares for one another both academically and personally.
