CCDA Mentors and Job Seekers are invited to participate in their job training program.

CCDA is actively recruiting for our job mentoring program, open to those of any status (not just refugees) with our Education and Workforce Development program. Would be recommended for folks perhaps beyond their 5 years with a resettlement agency, or those still seeking asylum, of varying immigrant statuses, etc. See more info here: https://www.ccda.net/need-help/education-job-prep-and-training/job-ministry/ and flyer: https://www.ccda.net/need-help/education-job-prep-and-training/job-seeker-assistance-flyer.pdf

What would you do if you had to leave everything behind?

By the end of 2025, more than 117.8 million people worldwide had been forcibly displaced by war, persecution, or human rights abuses — and 45 million of them are children.

They arrive in refugee camps and countries seeking safety and carrying little: legal papers, if they're lucky. A backpack. A child's hand in theirs.

What they carry that we can't see is heavier: fractured families, homes they'll never return to, professions they loved, friends and relatives they may never see again.

In a climate where immigrant stories are often ignored or twisted, we believe stories are a form of justice. When someone shares what they survived, they reclaim their voice. When we amplify it through film, photography, and advocacy, the world listens. Hearts soften. Policy begins to shift.

Because when a lawmaker sees a person instead of a statistic, and a neighbor understands instead of fears, rebuilding becomes possible.

Your support helps us share these stories where they matter most.
