From Harm to Hope With a Needle and Thread

• This presentation is for Osher Institute members only.

Refugees are some of Boise’s most resilient and courageous people. Learn directly from members of Boise’s Artisans for Hope program, where a needle and thread mean hope, learning, creativity and economic opportunity. Discover the history of this local program where hundreds of volunteers and thousands of refugees have connected, learned and created together. Learn the program’s mission and goals, and hear directly from refugees and volunteers as they share their stories and show the products they’ve made.

Presenter: Ellie McKinnon, Executive Director, Artisans for Hope, and former Director, Osher Lifelong Learning Institute
