What is the Impact of Temporary Protected Status on Small Communities - A Conversation With Angela Boelens
Description
Today, The “Center” podcast returns from its hiatus with a timely message about our migrant neighbors, and how we can better understand the various ways in which refugees can leave dangerous situations and legally enter and live in the United States while waiting for conditions to improve in their home countries.
Today’s guest on The “Center” is Angela Boelens. Angela is the founder and president of IA NICE, a non-profit agency supporting refugee families from Ukraine who are seeking either Temporary Protected Status or Humanitarian Parole with resettlement and integration into local Iowa communities. IA NICE is a 501(c)(3), providing guidance and necessary resources to community members and sponsors as they support newcomer families in rebuilding their lives in Iowa. Angela lives in Rock Island, IL, and is a professor in the Business Administration department at Augustana College.
