What We Do

We provide gap-filling, culturally-aware support and friendship to refugees in our community. Specifically, we:

  • Support refugee families through summer and afterschool programming;
  • Welcome refugee women with TLC (Tea, Learning, and Conversation);
  • Provide timely assistance in navigating the many new “systems” of life here;
  • Provide ongoing cultural orientation;
  • Create opportunities for celebration and gathering;
  • Collaborate with local refugee resettlement efforts to meet the needs of newly-arriving refugees; and
  • Engage in meaningful relationships with our new neighbors.

We recognize that refugees come to our community with skills, knowledge, and experience. We help them find their footing so they can build on their strengths, develop a sense of belonging and contribute in their new community.
