As a part of the launch of the Hello Neighbor Network, Hello Neighbor commissioned our first research survey. The findings are released today! The key to the survey was looking at how volunteers and refugees view the impact of refugee support nonprofits. Findings from the survey include: 92% (of refugees with children) felt their kids had more access to opportunities after working with an organization 91% of refugees felt more connected to the city they lived in after getting involved with a local refugee organization 93% of volunteers believe their organization reduced polarization in their community 97% of volunteers said, as a result of volunteering, they advocate for refugee issues at local, state and national government levels One in two people volunteering or working for refugee agencies said their discouragement with the current political climate was one of their top three reasons for getting involved Check out more findings here! We’ll be sharing more about how this survey impacts our communities in the days and weeks to come! announcement, research study
