Refugees in our community are still here. So are we.

We turn loneliness and isolation into connection and confidence. Loneliness and isolation triggers past trauma, preventing integration and growth.

• Volunteers visit refugees, act as mentors, and build real friendships.
• With fun outings, appointment support, and a friend to talk to, refugees feel seen, safe and strong.

‍

The refugee journey disrupts education and professional growth. We help refugees access education, vocational training, and qualifications that allow them to rebuild their careers, gain promotions, and thrive in their chosen fields. RAA partners with local businesses to provide workplace training that equips refugees with the skills and qualifications needed for career advancement.

• We help refugees write resumes and find jobs with growth potential.
• Career coaching and workplace training open doors to better work.

Refugees can’t learn English, gain qualifications or advocate for themselves or their children when they are just focusing on keeping the roof over their heads or putting one next meal on the table.

• We assist with benefits, help set up banking and credit, and help figure out bills, rent and taxes.

• Emergency assistance helps families stay afloat and start to plan ahead.
