The YMCA at Virginia Tech hosted their 2nd annual Welcoming Week this month with support from the Town of Blacksburg, Montgomery-Floyd Regional Library, local businesses, community groups and individuals. Welcoming Week brings New River Valley neighbors of all backgrounds together to build strong connections and affirm the importance of welcoming and inclusive places and LVNRV is proud to be a participating partner. Program Coordinator Anne Abbott was onsite to share information on our classes for English for Speakers of Other Languages, Citizenship exam preparation, and more. Program Coordinator and volunteer Alex Uresti represented LVNRV at the international fair to recruit learners and volunteers. We enjoyed meeting and welcoming new immigrants to our community!
