As Americans, we believe that refugees and immigrants have richly contributed to the character and strength of the American way of life for generations. We also believe the warm and generous welcome Americans have traditionally given refugees and immigrants reaffirms an awareness of the roots and ideals of our American society. For many years, the US government has demonstrated international leadership by responding to refugee emergencies promptly and generously. There is no reason to believe that America has lost its capacity to welcome and integrate newcomers fleeing terror, oppression or looking for a new start. It is what makes this country great.

To effectively facilitate the economic and social integration of refugees and immigrants into American society, we are committed to providing the highest quality services throughout the resettlement period, to fostering the self-sufficiency of refugee and immigrant families, to informing and educating the community about the refugee and immigrant experience, and to partnering with volunteers and the community to support our new neighbors.

In addition to basic resettlement services, we offer a variety of services to assist refugees and immigrants with their transition. In NH we provide statewide Interpretation Services to both refugees and immigrants through the Language Bank. In MA we offer Legal Services for immigrants and foster care program for refugee children through the Unaccompanied Refugee Minors Program (URMP).
