This summer, 62 students attended the ̽»¨¾«Ñ¡ in New Jersey’s first Refugee Youth Summer Academy (RYSA).

Word spread quickly through the small Arabic-speaking community in Missoula this spring that after an almost two year wait, the ̽»¨¾«Ñ¡ would be resettling a family from Iraq. Thanks to our community for stepping up to welcome them.

The ̽»¨¾«Ñ¡ in Salt Lake City’s education team partnered with Milad Mozari, an assistant professor at the University of Utah’s College of Architecture & Planning, to collaborate on a virtual reality project for refugee and new American youth attending school in the United States.

Through the New Americans Campaign, the ̽»¨¾«Ñ¡ and partners help immigrants and refugees become citizens in free workshops.

Looking for a way to support refugee families and make a difference in their lives? You’re in the right place!

This fall, the ̽»¨¾«Ñ¡ in NJ launched a series of ESL classes for adult clients.

The ̽»¨¾«Ñ¡ in Tucson began receiving displaced Afghan families in September of 2021. All are in urgent need of safety and security. The number of families has increased due to the deteriorating situation in Afghanistan. The ̽»¨¾«Ñ¡ calls on the Tucson and Pima County community to come together with open arms in welcome for these families, many who risked their lives providing critical and longstanding assistance to the U.S. mission in Afghanistan.

In 2024, the spirit of giving and community support shone brightly through the Light One Candle initiative by the ̽»¨¾«Ñ¡ (̽»¨¾«Ñ¡) in Salt Lake City. Light One Candle is an annual gift drive where community sponsors commit to gathering much-needed supplies and holiday wish list items recently arrived refugee families and individuals. These efforts support refugees to gain control of their future and become an integral part of our community as they focus on rebuilding their lives in our community.

The ̽»¨¾«Ñ¡ in Wichita is closed to staff, clients and the general public due to COVID-19. Staff will continue to communicate with clients remotely during this time.
