OUR NETWORK OF AFFILIATES ALSO WORKS WITH COMMUNITY PARTNERS TO HELP REFUGEES LAUNCH OR EXPAND SMALL BUSINESSES, ACCESS CONTINUING EDUCATION, AND DEVELOP ENGLISH LANGUAGE PROFICIENCY.IN ADDITION TO ECONOMIC INCLUSION, HIAS' SOCIAL INCLUSION PROGRAMS HELP REFUGEES ACCESS CRITICAL SERVICES AND SUCCESSFULLY INTEGRATE INTO THEIR NEW COMMUNITIES WHILE MAINTAINING THEIR CULTURE AND IDENTITY.
