THE REFUGEE SERVICES IN SOUTH FLORIDA, COVERING PALM BEACH, BROWARD AND MIAMI DADE COUNTIES, OFFER AN ARRAY OF PROGRAMS TO ASSIST REFUGEES, ASYLUMS, AND PUBLIC INTEREST PAROLEES IN ACHIEVING SELF-SUFFICIENCY TO EASE THE TRANSITION IN THEIR NEW COUNTRY. THE AGENCY HAS OFFERED REFUGEE EMPLOYMENT SERVICES SINCE 1982. IN 1997, YOUTH CO-OP JOINED THE NETWORK OF THE U.S. COMMITTEE FOR REFUGEES AND IMMIGRANTS TO PROVIDE RECEPTION AND PLACEMENT AND MATCHING GRANT PROGRAM SERVICES TO REFUGEES FROM VARIED COUNTRIES. ALL SERVICES ARE FREE AND AVAILABLE IN THE LANGUAGES SPOKEN BY THE PARTICIPANTS. THE RESETTLEMENT PROGRAM ASSISTS REFUGEES IN TRANSLATING THEIR STRENGTHS, SKILLS AND PAST EXPERIENCES INTO ASSETS; THE MATCH GRANT PROGRAM ASSISTS IN ACHIEVING EARLY SELF-SUFFICIENCY WITHOUT ACCESSING PUBLIC ASSISTANCE; EMPLOYMENT AND TRAINING PROGRAMS PROVIDE ASSISTANCE FOR EMPLOYMENT AS A KEY TO SUCCESSFUL INTEGRATION INTO AMERICAN SOCIETY AND IMMIGRATION ASSISTANCE IS ALSO PROVIDED IN PREPARATION FOR ACHIEVING CITIZENSHIP.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us.

Schedule J
