We’ve seen how a warm welcome can change everything.
That’s why we surround every refugee with people who understand their journey—so no one ever has to face it alone.
New American employees are vital to our mission
They are uniquely capable of connecting with newly arrived refugees, not just through their shared language, but also their shared experience.
Their compassionate understanding comes from knowing first hand how anxious, confused, and isolated refugees can feel when facing a new culture, an unfamiliar language, and complex systems.
They have a passion for giving back to their community that inspires us every day!
