30 Poems in November

We're all from somewhere, and we all have stories to tell. I'm writing to support the newest members of our communities, and to connect with a long tradition of welcoming "the stranger," perhaps realizing they're not so strange after all. In this picture, I'm beside the Rhine River in Germany, near where my grandfather came from. This November, I plan to use poetry to both explore the past and dream better visions of the future.

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.
