Collaboration is Our Nature
For the last 7 years, ESHARA has served as a collaborative convener with the goal of strengthening our collective partnership with mainstream resources and elevating the voices of all new Americans in our community. We have built a strong referral network to ensure anyone seeking resources as they relocate to the United States can do so with less stress and a greater sense of support. This collaborative approach is critical in ensuring we are accountable to our communities and are as effective as possible in our collaboration across all cultural groups who now call our community home.
