The annual Society for Intercultural Education, Training & Research (SIETAR) USA conference serves as a forum for interculturalists from varied professions and disciplines to come together to share their knowledge, insights, and questions with other members of the intercultural field. This year's theme is "From Adversity to Diversity: The Role of the Interculturalist." I will be presenting in the area of "The Role of the Interculturalist Working with Specific Cultures." As facilitators across cultures, interculturalists can play a major role in the cultural integration process including education, career, and social development for immigrants and refugees. As an interculturalist and nonprofit leader in the immigrant and refugee community, I have identified and successfully executed a variety of roles. My session will explore the compatibility of the interculturalist in the nonprofit sector serving immigrants and refugees, give more insight into what is possible in such roles, and provide best practices on how to align skills and goals of the interculturalist with nonprofit organizations in service of immigrants and refugees. The journey to identify the role of the interculturalist in this context will be met with adversity, but as uncomfortable and challenging as it can be, there are endless benefits to welcoming the diversity for everyone involved. #SIETARUSAconference #RegisterNow #BuildingInterculturalCommunities #SustainingInterculturalCommunties #EducatingInterculturalCommunities #LoveLanguage (at Atlanta, Georgia) https://www.instagram.com/p/B3sH5M6AfV5/?igshid=13cqn8dttv5yc
