Weston teen honored during Connecticut Immigrant Day

The Connecticut Immigrant & Refugee Coalition and the Secretary of the State's Office is hosting the 22nd Annual Connecticut Immigrant Day today at the state capitol.  The Weston High School Youth Group and Sophia Jacobs will receive the Angela Andersen Memorial Award, created to honor students who demonstrate deep commitment to issues impacting refugees and immigrants.  The students created and implemented a Refugee Youth One-on-One Mentoring Program.  Jacobs, now a high school senior, started the group, which meets weekly.  They provide homework help for students in grades 1 through 5.  Jacobs says this fills a need for refugee youth who can feel socially isolated, especially in the afterschool hours while parents are at work.
