Welcome to Journey to Belonging
Empathy. Understanding. Connection.
In a world where migration is a reality for millions, the path to belonging can feel uncertain, lonely, and overwhelming. But what if we could walk in their shoes? What if we could see the world through their eyes?
The Journey to Belonging is more than just a workshop—it’s an immersive experience that invites you to step into the lives of immigrants, refugees, and asylees. Through powerful simulations, personal storytelling, and deep reflection, you’ll gain a deeper understanding of the challenges faced by those who have been forced to leave everything behind and build a new life in an unfamiliar land.
Journey to Belonging: Empathy and Understanding for Immigrants is not a training for immigrants—it's for everyday people who want to better understand immigration and the experiences of those who come to the United States seeking safety, opportunity, and a new beginning.
Why it Matters
Immigrants are our neighbors, our coworkers, our friends. Yet, the barriers they face can often remain invisible. The fear of the unknown, the struggle for safety, the quest for belonging—these are the stories we don’t always hear. By engaging in this transformative experience, you will develop the empathy needed to connect more meaningfully with the immigrant and refugee communities around you.
What to Expect
- Interactive Simulations: Walk through real-life scenarios faced by those starting over in a new country.
- Powerful Storytelling: Listen to stories that bring the immigrant experience to life.
- Reflective Dialogue: Engage in discussions that challenge perceptions and build understanding.
This 2 1/2-hour journey is designed to leave you with a lasting impression—one that will inspire you to take action, open your heart, and build a community where everyone belongs.

"Journey to Belonging gives a deeper understanding of immigrants and clears up misconceptions. It wonderfully delves into the differences of immigrants and unnervingly puts participants in the shoes of a daunting, disorienting, and inhumane process."
