Presentation on Refugee Educational Support Program

 

April 22  this week, I had the privilege of presenting on behalf of the Refugee Educational Support Program (RESPite) at LAUSD’s District-wide Homeless Liaison Meeting, hosted by the Homeless Education Office. Speaking to a dedicated group of school-site professionals—including counselors, coordinators, and administrators—I shared how RESPite supports refugee and asylee students as they adjust to a new educational environment. I emphasized the importance of early identification and collaboration with school staff to ensure no student is overlooked. One area I was especially passionate about highlighting was our literacy workshops for parents. These workshops not only support language development, but also empower families to better understand and engage with the U.S. school system, helping them become strong advocates for their children. I’m grateful for the opportunity to share this work and continue building bridges of support for our newcomer communities.
