Arrival was just the beginning.
We’re here for what comes next.
Rebuilding a life takes years. Attempting it alone without support can take a generation.
That’s why RAA walks with refugees for three years, helping with everything from jobs to English, education, healthcare, and community connection. Because long-term success doesn’t come from one solution—it comes from wraparound, individualized support, rooted in trust.
The Refugee Cycle of Poverty

Without English, refugees face a world of silence.
English transforms lives. Refugees need English to find work, study certifications, gain promotions, make new friendships and start to integrate.
- We offer six levels of ESL, from basic to professional.
- Classes are one to one, flexible and virtual.
- Refugees build the language skills they need for jobs, school, and everyday life.
We turn economic crisis into economic stability
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.
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.
We assist refugees with interrupted education to develop their skills and obtain credentials
Refugees decline in employability five years after arrival — and can remain trapped in persistent poverty for a generation.
- With GED prep, vocational training, and college support, clients earn certifications and plan for long-term careers.
- For many women, learning to drive is the first step. Passing their test not only enables them to travel to college or training— it also allows them to start to believe in their own potential.
Refugees struggle to find and keep work.
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.
