Become an Advocate!
There are many ways that you can help plug into our mission and help the refugees and immigrants in our community! Show immigrants you care by becoming an English tutor or conversation partner or attend a Better Together Committee meeting. Check out the links below to get started!
The center empowers individuals to be advocates for themselves and their families and assists them in bettering their lives in a variety of ways. Staff and volunteers take time to get to know everyone individually and learn about people’s goals informally, in addition to learning about their formal educational or career goals. Center employees and volunteers assist with: making phone calls, career exploration and job search skills, filling out paperwork, including familiarizing immigrants familiar with our Dubuque area community, such as healthcare and wellness facilities, the public and private school system as well as our area colleges, businesses and community organizations or clubs of interest.

Did you know that over 26,000 healthcare professionals and many thousands of food production workers and teachers are DACA recipients? We NEED them and they NEED our respect – and legal status.

We must make their futures stable, and stop allowing the government to continue to delay the ability for these adults, who were brought here as children, to have a path toward a legal, permanent status. here
