Integration Support

Integration Support is a core component in our vision to see newly arriving refugees and our community thriving together.

Our integration support allows us to provide high-quality case management, access to referrals, and extensive programming to increase sustained well-being for refugees across generations.

Ongoing Case Management

Case managers work with families to create self-sufficiency plans with the goal of assisting households in reaching and maintaining economic self-sufficiency, family stability and community integration.

Current High Volunteer Needs: Intensive Support Mentor

The Intensive Case Management (ICM) program is a client-centered program that empowers the most vulnerable to achieve their highest degree of independence through education, individualized/ trauma- informed case management, and holistic community integration support. Neighbors in need of Intensive Support mentors are the most vulnerable population we serve. Volunteers meet socially with the mentee regularly to practice English and provide friendship, as well as to support the mentee in navigating the local community and U.S. cultural norms.

Cultural Adjustment

We connect households to both in-house and external community programs to meet the objectives in the family self-sufficiency plan.

This includes English language resources, job training, childcare services, citizenship and naturalization resources and other services as needed.
