More Minority Nonprofits Embracing Groups Beyond Their Own
February 21, 2014
Boston-area charities founded to help particular immigrant communities adjust to life in America are increasingly offering their services to a multinational array of new arrivals, The Boston Globe writes.
Local nonprofit groups such as the Irish International Immigrant Center, Jewish Vocational Services, and the Asian American Civic Association, formerly the Chinese American Civic Association, have branched into offering English lessons, college preparation, and job-placement services to clients from the Middle East, South America, and North Africa.
The open-door policies help keep the decades-old groups’ services in demand as immigration patterns change, the Globe says.
