ReEstablish Richmond helps you get around

Outreach Coordinator Laura Jones instructs the class on the rules of the road with the help of an interpreter. 

 One of the great things that ReEstablish Richmond does is helping refugees and immigrants learn how to get around the Richmond and surrounding areas. One of these ways is through a DMV approved Learner’s Permit class. These classes are held in a classroom setting and are taught in the native languages of the students. These classes are held on a weekly basis and are made possible by local volunteers. Childcare is also provided as needed. Our current class make-up: 16 students from Afghanistan, 5 preschool aged children in the nursery,  1 teacher, 1 interpreter, and 10 community volunteers who help drive clients and provide childcare.
