USCRI Joins Welcome.US to Mobilize Support for Afghan Refugees in the United States
As the world witnesses the humanitarian crisis unfold in Afghanistan, it is crucial to come together and extend a helping hand to those in need. In this time of immense difficulty and uncertainty, the U.S. Committee for Refugees and Immigrants (USCRI) is proud to announce its partnership with Welcome.US, a groundbreaking initiative aimed at mobilizing support for Afghan refugees who have found their new home in the United States.
Who is USCRI?
Established in 1911, USCRI is one of the leading organizations dedicated to providing comprehensive support to refugees and immigrants across the nation. With over a century of experience in assisting displaced individuals, USCRI has always been at the forefront of advocating for the rights and wellbeing of refugees.
Over the years, USCRI has worked tirelessly to ensure that refugees have access to essential services, including housing, healthcare, education, and employment opportunities. By partnering with local communities, government agencies, and other organizations, USCRI strives to create a welcoming and inclusive environment for all refugees and immigrants.
Welcome.US: A Collaborative Initiative
Welcome.US is a collaborative effort between various organizations, including USCRI, that aims to bridge the gap between Afghan refugees and their new communities in the United States. The initiative works towards providing essential settlement assistance, language support, cultural orientation, and employment opportunities to help refugees rebuild their lives and integrate successfully in their new environment.
Through the partnership between USCRI and Welcome.US, Afghan refugees will benefit from a wide range of services designed to address their unique needs. These services include:
1. Language and Cultural Support
Adjusting to a new country can be challenging, especially when faced with language barriers and unfamiliar customs. USCRI, together with Welcome.US, offers language classes and cultural orientation programs to assist Afghan refugees in adapting to their new surroundings. By providing the necessary tools and knowledge, we aim to empower refugees and help them thrive in their new communities.
2. Employment and Job Training
Employment plays a vital role in a refugee's successful integration. USCRI, through its partnership with Welcome.US, offers job training programs, workshops, and employment assistance to Afghan refugees. By equipping them with the necessary skills and connecting them to job opportunities, we strive to enhance their economic stability and self-sufficiency.
3. Access to Essential Services
USCRI and Welcome.US work together to ensure that Afghan refugees have access to vital services, such as healthcare, education, housing, and legal support. By collaborating with local organizations and service providers, we aim to address the immediate and long-term needs of refugees, promoting their overall well-being and integration.
