On April 23 at 3 p.m., the Mariposa Museum will hold a panel discussion exploring how refugee resettlement works in New Hampshire.
The discussion is free and open to the public.
Discussion will focus on how decisions are made about who and how many people will come to New Hampshire and in which towns they will initially live, how agencies work to ease the transition into New Hampshire communities, and what newcomers face when they leave homelands behind to start a new life in the Granite State.
“Refugee resettlement is a familiar topic now in New Hampshire, but many people have questions – and also misconceptions – about how the resettlement process works,” said Mariposa Executive Director Karla Hostetler. “I speak with many people who also wonder how they might get involved. This discussion offers a chance to hear from three of the people most involved in refugee resettlement in New Hampshire and ask these questions.”
