ACCIS' Refugee Programs in Sacramento

ACCIS provides transitional assistance to newly arriving immigrants and refugees to Sacramento through Referral Services, Women and Youth Empowerment Programs, and Cultural Integration Activities.

Newcomers face many challenges in their transition into a new country and new culture. A few of the issues they face are: language barrier, inability to find suitable jobs, no knowledge of available services, lack of youth programs, mental health issues, culture shock and identity confusion -- in addition to the lack of social activities.

With the recent influx of refugee families ACCIS is collecting donations and household items. 

The new families are in need of furniture, mattresses, blankets, kitchen items (i.e. utensils and pots)  and cleaning supplies.

ACCIS addresses these issues through its programs that focus on minimizing the cultural shock and empowering newcomers to become productive members of the community while preserving their identity.
