CURRENT PROGRAMS

Navigating life in a new country can be daunting for immigrants and new Americans, especially those who have experienced trauma or conflict in their homelands. Many arrive with dreams of a better future but face significant challenges in understanding and adapting to their new environment. From obtaining a driver’s license to managing finances and pursuing entrepreneurial aspirations, the path forward can seem overwhelming. At the Immigrant Development Center, we understand these challenges firsthand. We are dedicated to empowering immigrants and new Americans by providing essential educational programs that bridge knowledge gaps and pave the way for success. We do this through our initiatives like “Driving to Success,” Financial Literacy Training, and Entrepreneurial Training.
