Our Programs
Resettlement
Through refugee resettlement, we help new arrivals make Buffalo their home. Our passionate resettlement team ensures our new families’ needs are met through home set-ups, airport pick-ups, cultural orientation, and ensuring all health care, mental health, education and employment needs are met.
Refugee Asylee Mentoring Program
RAMP pairs refugees, asylees, humanitarian parolees, and SIV holders between the ages of 15 to 24 who have lived in the U.S. for less than 5 years with adult mentors who can best help them achieve their personal, professional, and educational goals.
Employment & Entrepreneurship
Journey’s End promotes self-sufficiency through job placement services and a wide range of job training and entrepreneurship programs.
Education
Cultural orientation, English as a Second Language and High School Equivalency classes take place daily in Journey’s End’s classrooms.
Refugee School Impact Program
Designed to ease the transition of refugee children into the American school system, RSIP helps empower parents to be effective partners in the education of their children.
Legal Services
Through the NYS Office for New Americans and the Liberty Defense Project, Journey’s End offers complete immigration legal representation to low-income refugees, asylees, and other immigrants.
Brewster Street Farm
Located just a block away from Journey’s End headquarters, our urban farm program provides adult refugees with adaptive farming and marketing skills. Our organic produce is sold at our seasonal farm stand, through Community Supported Agriculture shares, and donated to families for no cost.
Immigrant Resource Program
Language Services
Immigrant Community Leadership Fellows (ICLFs), the volunteer team at the heart of this program, are current and aspiring leaders from within the immigrant community. Their firsthand understanding of the experiences of newcomers makes them uniquely equipped to serve as advocates for immigrant and refugee populations.
Journey’s End provides professional, reliable in-person, phone, and video interpretation services to the Western New York community in more than 50 languages. Additionally, translation services are available for written content in more than 25 languages from local qualified translators.
