We are pleased to announce that through the Lutheran Social Services Office of Immigrants and Refugees, "Newcomer Orientation" is being held at the Sioux Empire Safety Village. During this two week class newcomers to the United States are being taught basic social and life skills such as how to get a job, how to pay a bill, rent an apartment, clean, cook and provide for the safety of their family. This is the second time in the last month that they have brought 20+ immigrants and interpreters out the WH Lyon Fairgrounds for these classes.

This matches well with the mission of Sioux Empire Safety Village as we teach Life Safety Skills to all people. Part of that is to help them understand basic life and social skills. (Maslow’s Hierarchy of needs)

In addition LSS is using our facility to teach basic computer skills to immigrants and all of this, while they learn English.

We are so pleased that we have the ability to offer our resources for this valuable project and partnership.
