Building on the success of our first conference, this second annual event brings together Afghan Refugee School Impact-Support to Schools (ARSI—S2S) and Ukrainian Refugee School Impact (URSI) partners, including school districts, community-based organizations, community members, and other key stakeholders, to strengthen collaboration and share lessons learned. Together, we will explore strategies to support refugee students’ academic success, family integration, and overall well-being, while deepening our understanding of Afghan and Ukrainian communities.
