Interfaith Refugee and Immigration Ministries creates opportunity for refugees fleeing war, terror, and persecution to build new lives of safety, dignity, and self-reliance.



The Women's Empowernment Program's (WEP) mission is to meet the specific needs of refugee and immigrant women. The WEP strives to help women become self- sufficient while also fostering community building. From decreasing social isolation and facilitating clients' achievement, to increasing English language skills and enhancing employability, WEP works in partnership with women to help empower their integration into mainstream US culture with respect to their traditions, culture, and religious beliefs.
