Refugee Immigration Ministry

Description

RIM is an Interfaith, community-based organization that was founded in 1986. RIM's programs reflect the mission: "Building Community with Uprooted People to Serve the Common Good." At the heart of RIM's 3 major programs is a corps of dedicated volunteers who bring clients into relationships with their communities. These programs include: community-based resettlement of asylum seekers; job preparation through English and computer classes; and Spiritual Care Givers who provide chaplaincy services to immigrant detainees. All programs rest upon a strong Case Management plan and offer "new life and hope to uprooted people". As one client summed it up, "You took me from nowhere to somewhere."
