LMLIP’s focus on improving communication and access to information for immigrants was also noteworthy. The organization provides resources and tools to help newcomers navigate different systems and connect with community services and events. Additionally, LMLIP collaborates with different ethnic and cultural groups to ensure that their voices and needs are heard and addressed. The Kiwanis Club was also inspired by LMLIP’s approach to coordination and collaboration, working with a network of service providers, volunteers, and community members to ensure that newcomers receive the support and services they need.
LMLIP’s dedication to reducing systemic barriers in the community was admirable. They identify and address policies, practices, and attitudes that create disparities and exclusion, and advocate for changes that promote equity and inclusion. The Kiwanis Club believes that LMLIP’s work is essential to building a stronger and more resilient community for all. Overall, we at the Kiwanis Club found learning about LMLIP to be an enlightening experience and were impressed by the organization’s commitment to creating a more welcoming and inclusive community for immigrants.
