On Wednesday, September 29, the ̽»¨¾«Ñ¡ in Atlanta’s Executive Director, Justin Howell, hosted a webinar briefing with our partners—Alpa Amin, Executive Director of Georgia Asylum & Immigration Network (GAIN); Marjan Nadir, Economic Empowerment Manager at Refugee Women’s Network (RWN); and Chris Purdy, Director of Veterans for American Ideals and Outreach at Human Rights First—to discuss our work and how the community can help us welcome and support new Afghan arrivals in Georgia and continue our more than 40-year history of welcoming refugees to our state.

The ̽»¨¾«Ñ¡ in Atlanta is thrilled to announce that two of our very own—Kaycie Pitts and Jennifer Potts—have been named as part of the Young Nonprofit Professionals Network (YNPN) Atlanta ‘30 under 30’ Class of 2021!

In Los Angeles, Mayor Eric Garcetti, who chairs C4C with the mayors of Chicago and New York, made the initiative his signature citizenship-building program. He selected ̽»¨¾«Ñ¡ as one of just five organizations—and the only refugee resettlement agency—to implement his plan. The result has been extraordinary.

Each year on June 20th, the world celebrates World Refugee Day. This day honors those forced to flee their homes and courageously resettle in new lands. In San Jose, welcomers from across Santa Clara County will come together to celebrate the area’s rich cultural diversity and proud history of welcoming immigrants and refugees. Additionally, to further demonstrate San Jose's welcoming spirit, the ̽»¨¾«Ñ¡ in San Jose is seeking community support for our 2024 World Refugee Day Donation Drive for kitchen supplies to help our new neighbors feel at home in their new homes!
