  • We provided 1,300 hours of job skills training leading to 160 job placements.
  • Our Center for Well-Being counseled 280 refugees and asylees, including 30 survivors of torture and their families.
  • We educated nearly 9,000 Tucsonans on refugee issues.
  • Our volunteers mentored 40 refugee families and contributed more than $212,000 in donated services.
