Leave a CommentThe purpose of the Duke New Neighbors Initiative is to foster long-term relationships with Durham students with refugee backgrounds to build community between Duke and Durham students, support students’ learning, help hone their language skills, strive for academic success, and build friendships. Meanwhile, we hope Duke students will embrace and learn cultural humility and learn from their ‘younger siblings’, as well. To do this, we will host weekly meetings with the youth ages Kindergarten to 12th Grade. This may involve in-person (indoor or outdoor) or online activities, homework practice, group projects, or other activities.
