Make a Gift to Refugee Transitions

A message from Tenley Harrison, our interim executive director:

It has been another amazing year for Refugee Transitions. Our organization and our students have accomplished so much, and none of this would have been possible without the support of our volunteers, donors, and community partners. I personally have had a wonderful experience serving as interim executive director this fall and have been inspired every day by our staff and our clients.

But there is still so much more work to be done, and this holiday season, I would like to ask you to help us continue to carry out our mission by making a year end contribution to Refugee Transitions.

Here are just a few of our achievements from this past year:

- We have expanded our program offerings for adults by adding several classes, including citizenship preparation, job training, and parent education.
- Our adult clients score higher than state averages on their language testing.
- Our growing after-school program at San Francisco International High School has the highest attendance rate out of all after-school programs in the entire city of San Francisco.
- We have a near-perfect school retention rate for the over 200 youth enrolled in our home-based tutoring and mentoring program.

With your gift, we will be able to build on these achievements and work to:

- Launch two new after-school programs at middle schools in Oakland.
- Launch two new after-school programs at high schools in the South Bay.
- Expand our citizenship preparation program.
- Expand our on-site classes for adults and parents.
- Improve our refugee leadership programming for adults and youth.

I hope you will join Refugee Transitions and make a gift that will immediately further our programs for refugee and immigrant families working to succeed in their new homes and communities. 

Warm regards, 
Tenley Harrison
