Wondered what it's like to be new in our country same- I want to help Sharing my poetry with you will make me feel quite vulnerable. Not because of you, of course, but because I am putting myself out there in an unfamiliar way. What will your thoughts be toward me? This sentiment is how I imagine immigration might feel, but I picture it a much larger and prevalent feeling. I imagine myself in a country where I do not speak the language, do not know the customs well, and do not yet fully understand the government. I honor those who seek to learn in a new place and that is why sharing a poem a day feels like very little by comparison. Please join me to support and encourage those who come to our country with support for Center for New Americans. Thank you for a gift toward this effort, thank you for contributing to welcoming space in which our newest community members feel supported.

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.
