What is Nashville Neighbors?
Each Nashville Neighbors volunteer team is paired with a newly-arrived refugee family for a period of six months. During this time, Nashville Neighbor teams are equipped with a curriculum and interpreter (paid by Siloam if needed) to teach basic health education, with an intentional focus on fostering relationships and creating a broader social network and support system for the refugee family. Volunteer teams and refugee families are asked to meet at least twice each month in order to build consistent relationships and complete the health education curriculum.
The two main goals of Nashville Neighbors are to:
Promote wellness through a specific health education curriculum.
Deepen relationships between newly arrived refugees and established Nashvillians.
