Services Descriptions

Refugee Resettlement

In partnership with the U.S. Department of State, we welcome refugees and support them during the initial resettlement period - the first 90 days after arrival. Whether it’s securing housing, supplying basic necessities, or enrolling children in school, we come alongside these families every step of the way as they begin a path to belonging.

Extended Case Management

At World Relief, we know that adjusting to a life in a new country, with new culture, language, and often even different climate takes a while. Our Extended Case Management program, also referred to as Health and Wellness, works with individuals after their initial resettlement months, to provide ongoing and specialized support including help navigating systems like healthcare and offering financial literacy trainings.

Employment Services

Refugees and other immigrants bring incredible skills and experience with them when they arrive and are often eager to find a job to support their families. Unfortunately, immigrants often face challenges adapting their skills to the US workforce and the barriers to entry can be significant.

Our Employment Services meet individuals in this and helps them and offers support by providing job training, connecting them with employers, assisting with resumes and interview prep, and exploring career pathways.

Youth & Family Services

Refugee and immigrant kids face the unique challenges of adjusting to a new school system and educational expectations, while also trying to reestablish a sense of community and rootedness in a new culture. At World Relief Texas our desire is to see children and families flourish and reach their fullest potential, despite the early obstacles they face upon immigrating. Our Youth & Family Services actively prepare refugee and immigrant children for a successful school experience and long-term cognitive and socio-emotional development by working with them and their families.
