When multicultural volunteer teams navigate political neutrality versus advocacy

Our volunteer organization serves refugees and asylum seekers, but the volunteers come from everywhere and we keep having conflicts about how to talk about politics with the people we serve because everyone has different ideas about neutrality and advocacy based on their own cultural background.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen
