LSA is honored to be an official sponsor of Philadelphia’s Welcoming Cities Week, an initiative from the Mayor’s Office of Immigrant and Multicultural Affairs (MOIMA) that seeks to promote a more welcoming city for immigrants and residents of diverse backgrounds.

As part of our sponsorship, LSA’s Director of Client Services, Sarah Branson, will be participating in a panel discussion on working with Limited English Proficient and multicultural groups. This discussion is designed to help city agencies, service providers and other organizations learn how to engage with communities where language and culture might create a unique set of challenges. Sarah will be joined by John Farrel, Director of PhillyRising, and Amanda Bergson-Shilcock, Director of Outreach and Program Evaluation at the Welcoming Center for New Pennsylvanians. Stay tuned for additional updates regarding this panel discussion!
