Family of God, Lotus Meditation Center, Unitarian Universalists and Quakers (our Spiritual Mall folk) have been named Volunteer(s) of the Year for Global Friends. We were recognized on Saturday, June 15 during the World Refugee Day program at Town Square. A reception was held in their honor Thursday, June 20. Thank you to all who have worked hard to welcome refugees!
Victoria, Neil and Nell proudly display the Volunteer of the Year for Global Friends sign. They are a huge part of our mission of supporting refugee families resettling in the Greater Grand Forks community through Global Friends Coalition.
Global Friends welcomed these New American high school students to our community with the help of volunteers through education, mentorship, leadership, and community involvement opportunities.
