What happened to Mahasen and refugees like her
Thanks to the generosity of people like you, we are able to continue supporting Mahasen with the basic, life-saving essentials that are typically provided through the U.S. Reception & Placement program.
However, refugee resettlement has never been just a 90-day process.
Our work doesn’t stop at arrival. Once basic needs like food, shelter and safety are met, the journey toward belonging begins. Together, alongside the church, volunteers and our new refugee and immigrant neighbors, we invest in long-term community integration through:
✅ Adult Education Programs that equip individuals with the English language and cultural skills for work, life and community.
✅ ESL Tutoring that strengthens proficiency and supports English language learning.
✅ Church and Community Engagement that fosters belonging, provides psychosocial support and maximizes community assets.
✅ Fast-Track Employment Programs that help individuals secure stable jobs quickly, addressing labor market shortages.
✅ Job Upskilling Initiatives that open doors to higher-wage, meaningful employment and meet industry demands for specialized skills.
✅ Employment Mentorship Programs that foster professional development, network and career exploration with trusted career industry mentors.
✅ Immigration Legal Services that support a pathway to citizenship.
These aren’t just services — they are pathways to flourishing lives. And none of this happens without you, the church, who are at the heart of this work, walking alongside refugees and immigrants as they rebuild their lives.
Help refugees thrive!
