During winter break of the 22-23 school year, ABP conducted a trip to Atlanta, Georgia focused around the resettlement of refugees after fleeing from their home countries. Participants volunteered with the nonprofit International Rescue Committee, generating orientation packets for clients, distributing donated toys to children, and more!
