Raise your voice alongside refugees and immigrants
Our advocacy, supported by our community, is rooted in our faith, inspired by those we serve, informed by our team of experts, and guided by our vision that all immigrants and refugees should be protected, embraced, and empowered in a world of just and welcoming communities.
We and our Advocates for immigrants and refugees, and seeks a just, fair and generous culture of welcome. American Tek Resources provides services for newcomers, including refugees, unaccompanied children, asylum-seekers, and special immigrant visa (SIV) holders, and operates through a combination of direct service and its network of over 75 community-based affiliates in 42 states.
Unspeakable violence, extreme persecution, and the severe impacts of climate change are forcing families from around the world to flee their homes in record numbers.
From El Salvador and Ukraine to Afghanistan, Haiti, Venezuela and beyond, families embark on long and dangerous journeys to seek protection in the U.S. because they have no other choice.
Once they arrive, however, they are often on their own to find community, pursue their protection claims, and begin to heal from their trauma. Refugee families resettling in the U.S. benefit from a robust system that is national in scale, local in approach, and helps ensure a long and warm welcome. In contrast, people seeking protection via asylum or parole are often left unable to access the critical services and assistance they need. The children and adults who have sought safety via asylum or humanitarian parole face a U.S. immigration system that is ill-equipped to help them.
American Tek Resources Welcome Centers ensure that asylum seekers have access to local services and support through protection-centered and trauma-informed case management services.
At American Tek Resources, we believe everyone—regardless of status—should be welcomed with dignity and open arms. Our asylum services seek to meet that need.
We provide protection-centered and trauma-informed case management services to asylum seekers and those arriving through humanitarian parole, including:
Legal services, including know-your rights support, guidance to secure legal counsel, and support in obtaining assistance with applications where needed.
Immigration legal services is one of our newest ministries of service and justice.
Our immigration legal services program offers high-quality immigration legal services from a trauma-informed and culturally proficient perspective. We understand that access to immigration legal protections can increase employment/economic stability, open doors for academic achievement, and improve physical and mental health. That is why we are committed to using the U.S. Department of Justice’s Recognition and Accreditation program to build legal services capacity and to ensure services are provided by individuals with lived experience. As a faith-based, non-profit organization we are committed to providing these services at no cost or low cost to our clients.
Finally, we wish to ensure that all applicants, whether represented by counsel or not, have access to a fair, efficient, and just immigration legal system. Through our experience representing clients and providing technical support and assistance to our network of affiliates, we use data to detect, analyze, and advocate for systemic changes within the immigration system to benefit the greater good.
Our legal program focuses on supporting clients in their cases involving humanitarian forms of relief, family-based applications, and citizenship/naturalization. The team provides immigration legal screening, case consultations, pro se assisted services, direct representation, and assistance with case inquiries and escalation for eligible clients.
