Refugee and Immigrant Voices in Action
@rivaiowa.bsky.social
Refugee & Immigrant Voices in Action (RIVA) is a grassroots coalition led by refugees and immigrants in Iowa. We empower our communities to access opportunities, build capacity, and grow leaders in Iowa.
Huge thank you to the amazing students who attended and excelled at last week's "RIVA Ignite Your Potential" summer youth event, and to the volunteer panelists who made it unforgettable.

This is what a strong community looks like.
