our impact

As our nation faces the most restrictive federal immigration policy in a century, our staff and supporters are standing strong.

For more than 100 years, we have fought for the protection and safety of newcomersand we plan to continue this work for the next century and beyond.  

Today, we are deepening our support for the thousands of refugees and immigrants who already call New England home. Join us in ensuring they have the opportunities and resources they need to grow their careers, achieve their dreams, and build brighter futures for themselves and their families.

SERVICES HIGHLIGHT

English for Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL)

The refugees and immigrants we serve tell us that strong English language skills are the key to unlocking their dreams. In the U.S., speaking, writing, and understanding English equates to freedom, connection, and opportunity, and it empowers clients to advocate for themselves and their families, build relationships with neighbors, continue their education, and enter and succeed in the U.S. workforce.
