This race is a fundraiser for ECDC International.
We are a multicultural, community-based organization committed to empowering immigrants and refugees.
At ECDC, we believe in the capacity that newcomers have to make positive contributions to improve the lives of others. For the past four decades, we have been assisting refugees and immigrants to rebuild their lives as productive, self-sufficient, and integrated members of their new communities.
Who We Are
We welcome newcomers to the U.S. and ensure they receive the support and resources they need to re-establish their lives.
At ECDC, we resettle refugees and help meet their immediate and longer-term needs through a variety of programs. We mobilize community involvement and contributions to ensure newcomers are connected locally to people and services that can help beyond the scope of official programs.
What We Do
We help newcomers to realize their potential and make positive contributions to American society.
As a national refugee resettlement agency, we take responsibility for assigning refugees to local communities across the U.S. and placing them in the hands of trusted organizations that help them meet their immediate and longer-term needs.
Local office staff provide case management services to newcomers and connect them to generous and caring community volunteers and organizations. Together, staff, volunteers, and service providers assist newcomers with initial resettlement tasks such as finding housing, enrolling children in school, securing employment, learning English, accessing health services, registering for public benefits, adjusting to American culture, and more.
At the national level, our head office teams provide program management and processing support by assigning families to local sites, monitoring the progress and outcomes of families, providing training and technical support for staff at local sites, and generating additional resources to meet emerging needs.
