We have over 4,000 clients who have come from countries like Afghanistan, Ukraine, Haiti, and Syria to name a few.. As an organization, we provide housing assistance, case management, medical coordination, English classes, School enrollment and support, employment services, and many other resources to ensure that our new community members have the tools that are needed for success.
Every month, we have over one hundred new community members enrolled into our program and are looking for volunteers to who are interested in working with refugees.
