West African Relief Center
Introducing our innovative housing project, designed to foster a vibrant community both youth and seniors. This initiative aims to create inclusive living that encourage connection and collaboration among residents of all ages. With tailored cultural programs and activities, we provide opportunities for youth to engage in mentorship and skill-building, while seniors can share their wisdom and experience. Together, we are building a supportive environment that enriches lives and promotes lifelong learning.
Community Health Work Program.
Our Community Health Work Program connects West African immigrant and refugee families with the care and resources they need to stay healthy. Through trusted Community Health Workers, we provide culturally responsive health education, help families navigate clinics and insurance, and connect them to social services. This program breaks down barriers to care and empowers families to take charge of their health and wellbeing.
Housing Program
Our Housing Program provides vital support to individuals and families experiencing housing insecurity. We guide community members through rental assistance programs, connect them with affordable housing opportunities, and ensure they understand their rights as tenants. For those at risk of homelessness, we offer advocacy and referrals to emergency shelters and supportive services. Beyond meeting immediate needs, we focus on long-term stability—helping families build safe, secure foundations for a stronger future.
Youth Program
The Youth Program empowers young people to reach their full potential by providing mentorship, leadership training, and safe spaces for self-expression. We focus on education, career readiness, cultural pride, and healthy lifestyles. From tutoring and skill-building workshops to recreational activities, we help youth grow into confident, capable leaders who give back to their community.
Senior Program
Our Seniors Program supports elders in staying connected, valued, and healthy. We provide social gatherings, wellness workshops, and assistance with navigating resources such as healthcare and benefits. We also honor the cultural knowledge and traditions elders carry, ensuring they remain an active and respected part of the community. By reducing isolation and promoting dignity, we celebrate the wisdom of our seniors.
Community Advocacy Program
​
Through our Community Advocacy Program, we give a voice to those who are often unheard. We help individuals and families navigate complex systems such as housing, healthcare, immigration, and public benefits. Our advocates work side by side with community members, ensuring they understand their rights and have the support they need to thrive. We also engage in collective advocacy, partnering with organizations and local leaders to address systemic barriers and promote equity.
