This training covers the necessary components to working effectively with Afghan refugees living in the United States. We address our motivation and goals for working with refugees, as well as the personal preparation needed to be an effective volunteer among them. We discuss differences in culture and communication styles between American culture and Afghan culture, as well as common misunderstandings that can be avoided. We will also demonstrate how to communicate effectively with someone that does not know English well, and how you can assist them in their language-learning. Finally, we will discuss ways to become involved as a volunteer at the community house right next to the Trinity Woods campus.
