ties for refugees throughout the United States through mentoring, opportunity search, networking, and advocacy. From there, we develop a unique action plan for each refugee and his or her family, with the intent of supporting and developing his or her path to college and/or a job/internship. In addition to our relief work, we advocate for greater awareness of the issues and hardships refugees face as they resettle and the need for professional assistance both in Michigan and elsewhere, with special attention to increasing diversity and new minds to college campuses and in companies across America. We are the only organization in the United States focusing on refugee post-employment and higher education, and are a proud member of the UN Refugee Coalition .
