This orientation is the first step in entering into community with members of Journey Home's refugee community.

The Orientations is for two groups of people:

1) Individuals or groups volunteering with Journey Home Community (complimentary registration). This includes church/community partners in JHC's "Communities of Welcome for Refugee Claimants" initiative.
