Program areas at AsylumWorks
Social services - our social services program serves as an entry point for new Asylumworks clients. The purpose of this program is to help clients address unmet needs relating to safety, health, and wellness. Bilingual staff are trained to provide clinical case management, a professional modality of social work focused on reducing environmental barriers to promote access to services, resources, and information.
Training and technical assistance - leveraging the experience and expertise of our direct services staff Asylumworks has developed a unique, fee-for-service training and technical assistance program to help partner organizations increase the skill, confidence, and competence of staff and volunteers working with immigrant clients.
Community engagement - our community program is designed to create opportunities for clients to rebuild their social support network. Program activities include one-on-one client and volunteer engagements, general community gatherings, and specific community support groups for members of the lgbtq community.
Employment services - Asylumworks has developed two curricula for clients seeking employment. Our first program, path forward, is a 20-hour program designed for non-english speakers seeking entry-level employment. It is currently taught in english, spanish, amharic, and french. Our second program, reach higher, is a 40-hour program that helps english-speaking professionals prepare for career re-entry
