Mission
& Vision
Our Mission:
We resettle refugees in Nebraska and provide them with the support they need to become self-sufficient.
We are a community-based, Nebraska 501(c)(3) non-profit corporation.
Our Vision:
To help people fleeing violence and persecution in their country, people who have given up so much to work towards the American Dream. We are a catalyst in welcoming these immigrants and refugees into Nebraska and in doing so we hope to create a stronger and more diverse community for all of us.
