Goodwill Industries of Greater New York and Northern New Jersey

Description

Our site (Refugee and Immigrant Services) provides direct services to the new immigrant and refugee population. Our employment-directed programs offer job placement services. In addition, participants receive intensive computer and ESL training, as well as employment preparation workshops covering topics such as: resume preparation, cover letter writing, interview preparation and job retention.

Our programs also assist immigrant families applying for green card, citizenship and government benefits. We also host citizenship classes to prepare immigrants for the naturalization exam. We work with the parents of immigrant children and youth, providing information and support to enable the children to succeed in school.
