| Who We Are: |
| Our Mission: to support the efforts of refugee and immigrant women and children to achieve self-sufficiency in the United States by providing education and economic opportunity. Refugee Family Services operates from a refugee community center in Stone Mountain, Georgia, a town in the metro Atlanta area. The center is located at 5561-H Memorial Drive, near the many recent arrivals from a variety of countries, including Somalia, Sudan, Bosnia, Iraq (Arabs and Kurds), and Vietnam. The Community Center houses our Refugee Women?s Support Program; the Women?s Employment Program; the Family Violence Prevention Program; the Strengthening Families Program; and a computer lab. The Activity Center is home to the Refugee Youth Program, the School Liaison Program, English as a Second Language classes, and a childcare center. Our bilingual caseworkers and school liaisons also provide outreach services through home and school visits as well as classes and workshops held in the community. |
