Immigrant Integration

At Forward Together Development Network (FTD-N), we recognize that successful immigrant integration is essential for building cohesive, inclusive, and resilient communities. Leveraging over 20 years of combined experience in complex environments, particularly in Afghanistan, our work focuses on supporting immigrants and refugees to fully participate in society, while preserving their cultural identity.

Our Activities in Immigrant Integration Include:

Educational Support

Providing language courses, literacy programs, and vocational training to help immigrants adapt to their new environments.

Supporting children and youth with access to formal education and after-school programs to bridge gaps caused by migration or displacement.

Economic Empowerment

Facilitating job training, skill development, and entrepreneurship programs to enable immigrants to contribute economically.

Partnering with local businesses and organizations to create employment opportunities tailored for immigrants and refugees.

Social and Cultural Inclusion

Organizing cultural exchange programs, community workshops, and awareness campaigns to promote understanding and respect between immigrants and host communities.

Providing counseling and mentorship to help immigrants navigate social services, healthcare, and civic responsibilities.
