Our Approach

At VANSE, we believe in a holistic, culturally sensitive approach to immigrant support. Our programs are designed to address the multifaceted needs of program participants:

  1. Employment Assistance: We offer resume building, interview preparation, and job placement services to help secure stable, fulfilling employment.

  2. Education Support: From English as a Second Language (ESL) classes to cultural integration workshops, we provide educational resources that empower our beneficiaries to navigate their new environment confidently.

  3. Health Services: We offer community health education, health literacy programs, and assistance in navigating the U.S. healthcare system.

  4. Community Resource Navigation: Our team provides referrals and guidance to access essential community resources, ensuring our beneficiaries can meet their basic needs.

  5. International Education Support: We extend our impact beyond our local community by supporting educational initiatives in Haiti, addressing root causes of migration.

Through these interconnected programs, we strive to create a supportive ecosystem that enables newly arrived Haitian immigrants to thrive in all aspects of their lives.
