RefuHope’s Advocacy Committee
The RAC members work to share research on issues related to refugees and newcomers in Canada in an accessible and engaging format.
Our team is responsible for compiling and presenting existing literature, while also forming our own research questions. We hope to work alongside newcomers and refugees in Canada to ensure that their needs are being outlined and addressed through social media engagement and/or social events that serve to educate, engage, and prompt positive change in the general public’s perspective about refugees and newcomers.
