Our Cultural Enrichment Series was developed to foster an understanding of the Hmong, Somali, and Latino cultures, all burgeoning populations in Minnesota. In this series of three seminars, developed in collaboration with Minnesota immigrants, we will cover the demographics of each group in our state, basic cultural history and background, as well as key cultural aspects and values.

Each seminar closes with a synthesis of financial and cultural concepts that can serve as a plan for better serving or working with each cultural group.
