As part of his graduate studies, my good friend James Rider has been doing research into refugee and immigrant resettlement. Nationwide, these types of organizations will be critical in welcoming and supporting America's growing refugee population.
Through his research, he has been able to create relationships and become involved with local organizations directly involved in supporting these groups in central Massachusetts.
One of these organizations, Worcester Together; a working group for refugees and immigrants funded by the United Way, advocates local government officials and provides support to community organizations, has been utilizing James Rider's research to better direct the limited resource into the areas that would have the greatest impact.
By taking the research, I designed a 4 page infographic for the group to use when seeking backing and assistance for new sources of aid, funding, and political support.
While I did not have a lot of time to design the product as Worcester Together wanted the infographic to be used as one of their main communication tools in their upcoming meeting with the Worcester Mayor Joseph Petty, I was happy with the result and glad I could volunteer my time.
