Buddy Program for Ukraina
Join the Buddy Program for Ukraina to make connections and build new communities over great coffee
About the Program
The Buddy program for Ukraina helps Ukrainian refugees to gain a feeling of belonging and comfort in the community.
This program aims to help Ukrainians to make new friends and learn a new language.
Locals in the community are paired with Ukrainian refugees and support them as they transition into a new community. Support can range from helping them open a new bank account to going out for a cup of coffee.
