Every year on October 28, National Immigrants' Day provides an opportunity to reflect on America as a country of immigrants. While we celebrate this national day, JVS works throughout the year to support refugees and immigrants. Much like our ancestors, these individuals often arrive in America unfamiliar with the language and the intricacies of navigating a new system. JVS provides comprehensive support through the following services: • Referrals for refugee cash assistance, food stamps, and Medicaid • Referrals to free or low-cost immigration legal services • English as a Second Language (ESL) classes • Citizenship Exam preparation classes • Job search assistance If you would like to support our ongoing work with immigrants and refugees, please visit our website: https://lnkd.in/ecSqK8j7 Thank you! #JVSofMetroWest #WorkforceDevelopment #EnglishasaSecondLanguage #CitizenshipClasses #RefugeeServices
