The Refugee Translation Project is honored and excited to join the New Arrivals Strategy Team initiated by the New York City Council to work alongside many great organizations to provide opportunities and support for new New Yorkers.

The New York City Council’s New Arrivals Strategy Team is a diverse coalition of experts assembled to improve the overall response to the recent immigration of our newest New Yorkers by developing solutions that promote their successful integration and economic contributions to communities across the five boroughs. The team is a cross-section of veteran city government leaders, immigrant New Yorkers with lived experience of the challenges facing new arrivals, as well as non-profit leaders, service providers, and funders. Translation and interpretation are crucial for new arrivals in their journey to making NYC home, and we are honored to advocate for language access in this capacity.
