What We Do
Our community is a unique intersection of two groups: Asian Americans in Utah--representing our heritage community--and marginalized refugees, asylum seekers, and human trafficking victims--representing the community we serve.
We work to help victims of human trafficking, refugees, and asylum seekers achieve outcomes of substantive improvement, self-sufficiency, and thriving. Our work is trauma-informed and linguistically sensitive, delivered by specialized staff who journey with each individual and family as they transition to life in Utah.
