Montana

Montana is a beautiful and difficult area to live. Newcomers from any different neighborhood, state, or country experience challenges of acceptance and belonging. Nevertheless, generous Montanans appreciate the unique contributions coming from newcomers. The Community Programs team in Montana is actively engaged with local nonprofit organizations, serving in the community, and developing opportunities for collecting and sharing refugee stories.
