Join a Long-Term Support Team
Long-term support generally lasts for approximately six months or until we have achieved the original objectives identified with the family. Team with other individuals and/or faith-based communities to provide any of the following to a family that has recently entered the United States:
- Opportunity to practice English
- Social and emotional support
- Education
- Assistance with applying for government programs (Medicaid, SNAP, ACP, temporary cash management)
- Job searches
- Help with doctors’ visits and transportation
- Help with identifying childcare
- Access to legal services
- Technical assistance
- Clothing and food
- Housing support
- Budget advice (open checking account, determine budget, teach currency)
Many experienced volunteers who have provided long-term support to families are eager to share their experience and guidance.
