Tax deductible
Raleigh Immigrant Community is a 501(c) 3 non profit organization operated by refugees and immigrants for refugees
Raleigh Immigrant Community Inc. continues to provide local employers in the Raleigh-Durham areas with a pool of hard working, honest, talented, multilingual, unskilled, semi skilled and skilled workforce from the refugee community in the Triangle.
RIC through a refugee peer program also provides:
*Cultural orientation programs allowing refugees to share their adjustment experience,
*Basic English communication sessions.
*Relevant trainings through our community partners to ease their adjustment process.
The RIC job program in particular has placed over 200 refugees in different local companies since February 2017.
How can you help?
Employment presents many barriers. Transportation in particular has hindered job placement and retention. RIC staff providing employment services have concluded that a van could mitigate some of these barriers. A van will:
*Transport refugees to interviews, work orientations and begin work in the short term as they endeavor to secure driver licences and move to car ownership.
*Incentivize more refugees to engage in our local work force as RIC staff have this additional resource to do home visits and make our programs more community based.
*Enable RIC staff effectively meet refugee case management needs that often require physical access to community providers.
RIC appreciates your financial contribution to purchase this Kia Sedona van to ease the integration process of refugees in our community.
"Kindness always returns.”
