What We Do
Community Services
Social support is essential to health and well-being. This program offers asylum seekers a safe space to make meaningful connections within their new community.

New Connections
One-on-one client and volunteer engagements ranging from homebound client meal delivery to ESL practice to job training participation.

Community Groups
Programming for a specific group of clients and volunteers to support integration through community inclusion.

Social Events
General community gatherings with clients, volunteers, and other friends and partners of AsylumWorks.
PROGRAM SPOTLIGHT: PRISM
LGBTQ asylum seekers face special challenges including discrimination from within ethnic immigrant communities. PRISM (Pride Refugee & Immigrant Support Meet-Up) was created to build a safe, affirming, and inclusive peer community for LGBTQ asylum seekers and refugees. To do this, PRISM facilitators and volunteers host weekly LGBTQ-focused activities, community-building events, and engage in advocacy initiatives that advance the interests of LGBTQ asylum seekers.
