Learning what to cook in a new country is about so much more than food. Our cooking classes help refugees and immigrants become more familiar with local ingredients and grocery stores while creating space to build friendships, share cultures, and feel at home in our community.

You can be part of making our community more welcoming 💙

We prepared. We collaborated. We advocated. And today, we’re celebrating.

Legislation that will help internationally trained teachers return to the classroom as they rebuild their lives in North Carolina is now a reality.

Behind this milestone were months of meetings, trainings, conversations, and collaboration with educators, school leaders, legislators, and community partners. Together, we walked to the General Assembly to ensure these voices were heard.

This is more than a win for refugee and immigrant professionals. It’s a win for North Carolina students, schools, and communities that need talented, qualified teachers in their classrooms.

Moments like these remind us why advocacy matters. When people come together around a shared purpose, meaningful change is possible.

Thank you to everyone who helped make this happen.
