Our clients arrive in the USA with nothing and face persistent poverty. We provide critical resources and guidance refugees need to break the cycle of poverty and build stable, secure futures for their families.

Refugees have lost their friends, extended family and their systems of support, leaving them feeling loneliness and isolation. RAA’s volunteers step in as mentors, guides, and friends, helping refugees navigate their new lives while providing emotional support and fostering meaningful connections.

The refugee journey often disrupts education and professional growth. At RAA, we help refugees access education, vocational training, and qualifications that allow them to rebuild their careers, gain promotions, and thrive in their chosen fields.

Refugees have a hard time convincing employers of their skills and experience, especially without English or easily-recognizable qualifications. We help refugees demonstrate their transferable skills, build their confidence and secure jobs with the opportunity for growth.
