“I’ve always worked in the non-profit world and I’ve always been interested in serving refugees.

.

One of the biggest successes I’ve seen (an RST) client achieve is when you first meet them in the airport, they’re so overwhelmed and so tired from the process of just getting to America. Continuing to walk them through that process, after you see them earn a job and their children are enrolled in school, you see the whole transition of these clients becoming confident, successful and integrated.

.

It’s very overwhelming when you first go to another country, learning all of the systems in place. That’s what we’re here to help with.”
