Raleigh Immigrant Community helped me with all my citizenship process, today I've became US citizen. I wasn't able to get an employment by myself, I was invited to R.I.C office immediately when I got there they helped me find my current job.
RIC is making real impact in people's lives and we appreciate.

Based on my age, I find it difficult to get an entry level job ever since I was resettled to United States of America. I came across Raleigh Immigrant Community after 3 days they help me get a job and hired full time with all benefits.
Today, I am able to take good care of my family, supply to their needs etc.
Thanks so much for the job their doing.

Raleigh Immigrant Community was created to help refugees and immigrants integrate in different communities where they live.
- Since RIC was created over 286 refugees has been served in the area of:
Employment, Housing, Case Management, Language Translation, Education, English round table etc.
Those refugees has became stable, their lives has changed and became blessings to their communities. Through RIC I was able to learn how to sow clothes using crochet, which has became another source of income to me and my family.
supporting this organization will touch and change many people's lives.

Honestly speaking I never see an organization that help refugees and immigrants in triangle like Raleigh Immigrant Community. Ever since I was resettled in the United States I wasn't able to get even a single entry level job. I came a cross R.I.C in 2 years they help me over 5 jobs in 5 different companies, the last job they got for me employed me permanently with full benefits.
They always assist me with a lot of case management issues such:
- care insurance
- DMV classes
- Language Interpretation
- Legal Issues etc.

I am very grateful for Raleigh Immigrant Community who has linked me with resources regarding services in the community. I am happy to be connected with a mental health organization who is helping my disable son with services such as personal assistance, respite service and community connections. This organization has also helped me apply for guardianship petition in court for my son and assisted me during the process until I got approved. Thank you Raleigh Immigrant Community!
