REFUGEE & IMMIGRANTS TRANSITIONS
Partnering with people who have sought refuge in the U.S. to create education, family engagement, and community leadership opportunities.
WHAT WE DO
Education
Education is at the core of our services. We help students improve their English, literacy, and other skills on their pathways to schooling, employment, and citizenship. We create safe and welcoming spaces that honor students’ cultures and build a vibrant community.
Community Leadership
We believe that newcomers can provide the strongest solutions to the challenges faced by their communities. We could not achieve our impact without our community leaders, who work in our programs as community/cultural liaisons.
Family Engagement
Navigating life in a new country requires a concerted family effort. RIT’s family engagement activities connect families to essential resources and decrease social isolation.
