Dr. Madeleine Albright, the first woman secretary of state, died yesterday at the age of 84. Her career and impact on American history are remarkable: an ambassador, diplomat, and champion of human rights and democracy. We are proud to celebrate this Czech refugee who left a war-torn home to settle in the United States in 1948. #notaplaceapurpose #ymcainternationalservices

Thank you to Dr. Stacy Hebert-Schoener, DDS, PLLC! her office donated hundreds of toothbrushes, toothpaste, and dental floss to our refugees in need. Thank you for thinking of our clients. #notaplaceapurpose #YMCAInternational

As a refugee resettlement agency, we hear about warfare and oppression on a daily basis. It never gets easier. It breaks our hearts to see what is happening in the Ukraine. Our thoughts and prayers are with those of you who are seeking refuge right now - in Afghanistan, Venezuela, the Ukraine, Iraq, the DRC, Eritrea, Yemen, and so many other places. We hate when people have to flee their countries, their loved ones, and their homes, and we hope that there will be a day soon when refugee resettlement agencies aren’t needed. But until then, we’re here. ♥️

After Kabul fell to the Taliban in August 2021, the US helped to evacuate thousands of Afghan allies, who have been waiting on US bases for permission to resettle here. We have resettled close to 1,300 Afghan allies since September. A number of our clients were pilots, forced to flee Afghanistan because of their work fighting the Taliban. They need our help getting back on their feet and back into the air!!

We have a number of ways that you, in the community, can help. Donate, volunteer, and spread the word!

A big part of human trafficking awareness is staying informed. A trauma-informed approach, helps us better engage with and assist the human traffic populations we serve. This week, we are sharing some of those resources to help dispel myths, connect with real experiences and learn how to better support each other.
