Since 2016, AsylumWorks has provided nearly 3,000 newcomers seeking humanitarian-based immigration protection with culturally and linguistically appropriate services. AsylumWorks helps newcomers ineligible for government assistance and unable to work for an extended period navigate a system ill-equipped to promote equity and justice. Bilingual, bicultural staff offer free Health & Wellness services so newcomers can address mental, physical, and social health challenges; employment & education services to guide newcomers in finding and retaining jobs; and legal navigation services that ensure newcomers understand their rights and connect with quality legal services. Together, these services empower newcomers across the Greater Washington region to protect and promote their health, access community opportunities, and participate in immigration proceedings. AsylumWorks builds a healthier, more just society for migrants.
