Fellowship and Outreach: Let our poetry be a portal, money a raft, and our encounter a communion.

Center for New Americans

Education and Resources for Immigrants and Refugees in Western Massachusetts

Poetry humanizes. Poetry can tell the story of the land, the heart, the life. Money feeds, clothes, and secures. … We must care for one another. Let the poetry of this project be a portal, the money be a raft, and our encounter be a communion. Write poems. Write cheques. Launch futures. … Like fundraisers by runners and bakers, poets writing a-poem-a-day in this campaign, raise money for a cause — education and resources to welcome and serve legal immigrants, to integrate economically and culturally into the community, and become self-sufficient. The hosting organization, Center for New Americans, is recognized by the U.S. Department of Justice.

Center for New Americans has been welcoming and serving immigrants in Western Massachusetts since 1992. We teach free classes in English for Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL), digital literacy, civics, U.S. culture. We offer support services including connections to community resources and assistance finding employment. We also offer some immigration legal services, including assistance applying and preparing for U.S. citizenship, assistance with employment authorization and family petitions, and some humanitarian assistance. We rely on a small, dedicated staff, an engaged board of directors, generous volunteers and supporters, and public and private funding. 30 Poems in November! is one of our most important fundraisers every year.
