Come learn about Welcome Neighbor STL! This local organization partners with refugee families relocating to St. Louis through driving lessons, English classes, family outings, supper clubs, and more. During the event, students will have the opportunity to write letters to refugee families that will be included in “welcome home kits” as you hear experiences of refugee and immigrant families locally and abroad.


What is Civic Action Week?
