"UHHR staff and volunteers have created such a warm, inclusive space for refugees who have survived horrific things to feel safe and welcomed. No one enters our space without being greeted by a welcoming face and someone sincerely asking how they are doing. As a staff member, it brings me great joy to see such a diverse community of individuals working to become their very best selves every day. I am proud to be a member of the refugee services community in Utah."
— Dani Folks Day, UHHR Associate Director
