How We Help
When a family is new to this country, one form or one appointment can decide whether they eat, see a doctor, or find work. YMECI sits beside families through those moments, in English, Haitian Creole, and Spanish. We've walked alongside 100+ families so far.
Navigating Benefits & Employment Support
We help families fill out SNAP and Medicaid applications, and we can join their interviews as an authorized representative so nothing gets lost.
We help job seekers find openings, connect with hiring agencies, and complete applications step by step.
Document Translation & Interpretation
We interpret for families at important appointments, including court dates, so they can understand and be understood.
We translate documents between English, Haitian Creole, and Spanish.
Resource Navigation
Not sure where to turn? We help families find the agencies and community services that fit what they need, and when we can, we make a personal introduction so no one has to start over alone.
College & Career Pathways
We walk alongside young immigrants who want to keep learning, helping them fill out college applications, move through the acceptance process, and get financially ready for school.
Who We Serve
We support youth, families, and individuals navigating the complexities of starting anew, with a core focus on empowering Haitian, Hispanic, and all immigrant communities.
​
No matter your background or status, if you are in need, our doors are open to support you every step of the way.
