Supporting Refugees 
Through Resettlement, Legal Aid and
Asylum Services

We understand that the journey of a refugee is fraught with challenges, uncertainty, and the constant search for safety and stability. Our mission is to empower refugees by providing comprehensive support services that facilitate resettlement, legal assistance, and asylum support. We believe that every individual deserves a chance at a new beginning, and we are here to help make that possible.

Our Programs

Refugee Resettlement - Refugee resettlement is a complex and critical process, and it requires thoughtful planning and coordination. At Shield Refugee Initiative, we offer a range of services aimed at helping refugees transition into their new communities with dignity and support. Our resettlement program includes:

Housing Assistance: We work closely with local communities and partners to find safe and affordable housing for refugees upon arrival.
Cultural Orientation: We provide orientation sessions to help refugees understand their new environment, including key cultural norms, available services, and community resources.
Employment Support: We assist refugees in finding job opportunities by offering resume workshops, job training, and connections to local employers.

LEGAL AID

Navigating the legal landscape can be overwhelming for refugees seeking asylum or resettlement. Our dedicated legal aid team is here to provide essential support, including:

Legal Consultations: We offer free, confidential consultations to help refugees understand their rights and the legal processes involved in seeking asylum or resettlement.

Documentation Assistance: Our team helps refugees gather and prepare necessary documentation to ensure their applications are complete and accurate.

Representation Services: We provide pro bono legal representation to refugees during asylum interviews, hearings, and appeals, advocating for their rights at every step of the process. 

ASYLUM SUPPORT

Seeking asylum is a vital option for many refugees, and our initiative aims to streamline this process. We offer a comprehensive asylum support program, which includes:

Asylum Application Guidance: Our experienced team assists individuals in completing their asylum applications, ensuring all required information is provided and understood.

Support Groups: We facilitate support groups where asylum seekers can share their experiences, find emotional support, and connect with others facing similar challenges.

Advocacy and Awareness: We work to raise awareness about the plight of refugees and advocate for policies that support humane and fair asylum practices.
