Mission and programs · 2023

Mission

SYRIAN COMMUNITY NETWORK IS A 501(C)3 REFUGEE AND IMMIGRANT SUPPORT ORGANIZATION THAT BUILDS COMMUNITY AND SERVES FAMILIES BY ADDRESSING THEIR EVOLVING NEEDS.

  • Education The Organization has adult education and youth education programs. The adult education programs for refugees and immigrants at the Organization include ELL instructions for new learners, Citizenship and Civics Preparation, the Womens Support Circle. The Organization also partners with other immigrant-serving organizations, community colleges, and vocational training providers to refer adults for programs that relate to their academic and professional goals. The youth education program offers a variety of youth educational programming for refugee and immigrant children from elementary to young adults, including an afterschool program, online homework room and summer camps, as well as Youth Mentoring, and Education Case Management. The Organizations youth education programs seek to provide a safe and culturally-competent space to help youth learn and grow.

    Expenses $511,698

  • Case Management The Case Management program is a collaborative process that includes assessment, planning, facilitation, care coordination, evaluation, and advocacy on behalf of our community members that includes benefits assistance, approved representation, medical and employment services. The Organizations case managers assist individuals and families in achieving wellness and autonomy through individual sessions and workshops that are culturally and linguistically accessible and trauma informed.

    Expenses $414,889

  • Immigration The Organization offers free Immigration Legal Services to low-income immigrants, with a focus on representation under humanitarian categories, such as refugees, asylees, or humanitarian parolees. Additionally, refugees and asylees are eligible to adjust to Lawful Permanent Resident (LPR) status, commonly known as a green card, after one year with their humanitarian status in the U.S. After 5 years of holding LPR status, they are eligible to apply for naturalization and become a U.S. citizen. Our Immigration team helps people along all stages of this pathway and to overcome many of the potential barriers.

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.
