A refugee has fled persecution. They have survived wars, trauma, deprivation. Resettled by the US government, they have been given a chance for a better life.
But obstacles remain.
Nations Ministry Center is committed to helping refugees rebuild their lives.

Workers’ Dignity is organizing to build a Nashville that values ALL people. They believe people directly impacted by injustice, especially low-wage workers facing abuse by employers, BIPOC and working class neighbors who live in under resourced and overpoliced neighborhoods, and immigrants facing increased ICE raids and detention, are ideally situated to have the knowledge and capacity to create sustaining and equitable change.

The Nashville Adult Literacy Council’s mission is to help Nashville adults with the reading, writing, and English-speaking skills they need for the life they want. Learners at NALC reach their goals through literacy.
Currently one in five Nashville adults is at the lowest level of literacy. Literacy is the foundation for a better life. Adult literacy rates impact every part of Nashville: employment and poverty levels, healthcare costs, K-12 school performance, family and community relationships, and general dependence on systems for support. NALC offers multi-generational independence through literacy.
