  • Newcomer Support and Community Engagement

    CLIENT ENGAGEMENT: NEWCOMER NAVIGATION PROVIDES PERSONALIZED SUPPORT TO NEWCOMERS AS THEY WORK TOWARD MEETING THEIR IMMEDIATE NEEDS. OUR TEAM CONNECTS WITH EACH CLIENT TO IDENTIFY THEIR GOALS, SHARE RESOURCES, AND CREATE A PLAN OF ACTION, WHICH MAY INCLUDE BEING MATCHED WITH A VOLUNTEER. NEWCOMER EDUCATION PROVIDES IN-PERSON GROUP SERVICES THAT DEVELOP SKILLS, OFFER EDUCATION, AND BUILD A SENSE OF COMMUNITY. OUR TEAM WORKS TO REMOVE BARRIERS TO ACCESS OFTEN EXPERIENCED BY CLIENTS, INCLUDING TRANSPORTATION, LANGUAGE ACCESS, AND CHILDCARE. OUTREACH: VOLUNTEER ENGAGEMENT EQUIPS AND SUPPORTS RICHMONDERS TO BE MATCHED DIRECTLY WITH NEWCOMERS, PROVIDING INVALUABLE OPPORTUNITIES FOR BOTH PARTIES. THESE CONNECTIONS FOSTER MUTUAL RESPECT AND APPRECIATION WHILE HELPING OUR CLIENTS TO NAVIGATE UNFAMILIAR SYSTEMS MORE EASILY. NEWCOMER NETWORKING CELEBRATES AND STRENGTHENS NEWCOMER COMMUNITIES. FROM CO-HOSTING THE CITYS ANNUAL MULTICULTURAL FESTIVAL TO COLLABORATING WITH LOCAL ETHNIC BASED COMMUNITY ORGANIZATIONS, WE ARE COMMITTED TO CONNECTING PEOPLE ACROSS DIVERSE BACKGROUNDS AND HIGHLIGHTING THE RICHNESS OF BELONGING IN THE RICHMOND AREA. COMMUNITY EDUCATION EMPOWERS AREA RESIDENTS TO BETTER UNDERSTAND AND WELCOME NEWCOMERS BY SHARING INSIGHTS ON THE RESETTLEMENT EXPERIENCE, BUILDING CAPACITY WITHIN COMMUNITY GROUPS, AND OFFERING PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT OPPORTUNITIES LIKE OUR ANNUAL REFUGEE AND IMMIGRANT VOLUNTEER SUMMIT (RAIVS). FUNDRAISING: THROUGH CAMPAIGNS, EVENTS, SPONSORSHIPS, AND INDIVIDUAL DONOR STEWARDSHIP, RER GAINS THE RESOURCES THEY NEED TO MEET THE MISSION. ADMINISTRATION: THIS INCLUDES THE TOOLS, TECHNOLOGY, INSURANCE AND SUBSCRIPTIONS WE NEED TO DO THE WORK. ITEMS IN THIS CLASS ARE THINGS THAT ARE NOT SPECIFIC TO ONE PROGRAM BUT NECESSARY TO DO BUSINESS.
