Description

Mayerli, an engineer, was an au pair in the U.S. for 2+ years dividing her time between Colorado and Connecticut.

She was part of the Youth Assembly- a platform founded in 2004 by the Friendship Ambassadors Foundation (FAF), a not-for-profit organization, a unique platform that cultivates a global network of young leaders and changemakers through exchange, education, action and impact, in NYC where she started a project inspired by the global Sustainable Development Goals initiative in the areas of recycling as well as responsible consumption and production. From there, she and a dear friend, started a non-profit program. Listen to find out how she made an incredible impact in the U.S. and in their native country.

This podcast is committed to celebrating the immigrant's journey to the U.S.A. and the process of learning how to navigate a new culture, new language, and finding resources that lead to a happy and independent life. From newly arrived friends, or those who have been in the country for years, you will hear inspiring interviews with adults and their family members. Additionally, you will hear from non-profit leaders, educators, and volunteers who are deeply committed to making impact on these inspiring people. Moving to a new country is a unique and daunting experience that takes courage and trust, but our mission is to include ALL voices, and to provide equitable space and an opportunity for them to be heard and celebrated as well as to learn from professionals how we can effectively support them.
