B2R is a founding member of the Vermont New Hampshire Asylum Support Network (VTNHASN). This network is comprised of 9 community-based asylum support groups in VT & NH who work together to foster collaboration, share best practices, build capacity, raise public awareness of the issues involved in seeking asylum, and advocate for policies and funding that support our collective work and the asylum seekers with whom we work.
