Help New Americans Thrive
How to Help
Starting over in a new country without any resources or support is very difficult. Today, refugees and immigrants face significant barriers as they work to rebuild their lives. Your support helps New Americans access the resources and guidance they need to achieve safety, stability and success.
Your donation provides life-changing support to New Americans as they rebuild their lives in Minnesota. Every donation connects refugees and immigrants to the critical resources they need to thrive. A gift in any amount helps New Americans:
- Access affordable immigration legal services that help them navigate constantly changing policies that impact their safety.
- Gain job skills and receive career navigation support so they can secure meaningful employment and provide for their families.
- Learn English so they can navigate daily life in a new country.
- Receive case management support and connections to essential community resources that support their long-term stability.
Your gift today will help New Americans find safety for themselves and their families, stability, and success in their new lives. When refugees and immigrants succeed, Minnesota succeeds.
