Creating a safe environment for refugees to build and strengthen their role as leaders and pave the way for change in their communities.
We provide comprehensive cultural and educational training for newcomers. We understand that transitioning to a new culture and educational system can be both exciting and challenging. That's why we are dedicated to empowering individuals from diverse backgrounds to thrive in their new environment. Our cultural training programs are carefully designed to foster cross-cultural understanding and appreciation. We recognize the importance of embracing diversity and creating inclusive communities. Through interactive workshops and engaging activities, we equip newcomers with the knowledge and skills needed to navigate cultural differences, overcome communication barriers, and build meaningful connections. In addition to cultural training, our educational programs are tailored to meet the unique needs of newcomers in their educational journey. We offer a wide range of resources and support to help individuals adapt to new learning environments, understand academic systems, and enhance their language proficiency. From language classes and tutoring services to guidance on educational pathways and career development, we strive to empower newcomers to achieve their educational goals.
Our employment programs are designed to equip clients with the skills, resources, and support necessary to navigate the job market effectively. We offer a range of services, including job readiness training, resume building, interview preparation, and networking opportunities. Our team of experienced career counselors work closely with each client, providing personalized guidance and mentorship to help them identify their strengths, explore career options, and develop a strategic career plan.
Due to displacement and other circumstances, refugees may experience high rates of depression, anxiety, and post-traumatic stress. Providing resources for mental health awareness can help curve the negative impact to pursuing educational, familial and professional goals. Team Unify focuses on approaches which seek to holistically understand a person’s life to provide trauma-informed care. We aim to sustain a person's meaningful path of personal growth and create sensitive mental-health systems which enable a community to thrive.
Unify provides resources to clients by partnering with other organizations to assist with legal immigration support, public benefits, housing, and domestic violence resources.
