IRIS - Simsbury Free Library MLK Projects - Parent Leadership Training Institute

This week host John Voket and the award-winning For the People open with IRIS - Integrated Refugee and Immigrant Services. We'll hear about the realities and challenges being faced by displaced, often desperate refugees and immigrants - families, children, even military liaisons who served and saved the lives of many U.S. service members during foreign conflicts.

Then we'll head to Simsbury to learn about an ongoing project being handled primarily by high school students and supporters at the Simsbury Free Library - promoting the little know details of two summers that Dr Martin Luther King Jr spent in Connecticut.

And we'll close wishing the 2019 class of Connecticut's Parent Leadership Training Institute good luck as their significantly pared down PLTI launches with extremely limited funding - in the hope aspiring participants in this proven community-building program for parents, grandparents, and caregivers will see it fully restored in 2020.
