FOR Alliance provides seminars to prepare volunteers to serve with adequate understanding, resources, guardrails, and essential policies for the purpose of knowing how to best support and welcome our refugee neighbors. Background checks and screening are required. After completing front-end training, FOR offers ongoing seminars and gatherings, with the majority of content taught by leaders who have lived as immigrants or as first generation Americans, including in contexts of complex trauma and violence.

In partnership with global speakers, FOR also offers the opportunity to learn from men and women who came to the US as refugees and asylum seekers, with origins in locations like Somalia, Iran, and the Middle East. This provides a unique opportunity for our local community to stand in fellowship with leaders and servants from around the world. Age-appropriate content is also provided for kids and teens, available to families who get involved, or for youth groups who serve.
