I started as a volunteer for RAA in 2022, volunteering with a Community Sponsorship Team to help a young family from Afghanistan resettle in Miami. This was an immensely rewarding experience and really opened my eyes to the difficulties refugees face when arriving to the United States. It was hard to believe how little support there was for refugees outside of non-profit organizations like RAA.
I am now working with RAA as the ESL Coordinator, overseeing our Navigating English Program where refugees are connected to volunteer English teachers. Through this program, our clients have the opportunity to practice English and form a friendship with someone in their new community. Learning English enables them to pursue higher education and careers, helping them establish their new lives in South Florida.
Our Community Sponsorship Teams and Navigating English Program are just some of the many services RAA provides our clients.
Please consider donating to RAA for Give Miami Day. Our organization needs your support now more than ever. Each donation helps us to continue our work to support our refugee neighbors in South Florida.
