New Americans are tenacious and strong, resilient and brave. They are dedicated to learning, working hard and creating a home for themselves and their families. They overcome obstacles and are focused on building their own versions of the American Dream. New AP walks on a pathway with the new Americans we serve as they grow and succeed, and we are grateful to be a part of that journey. Over the next year, will will introduce you to five families who embody what it means to find success along the pathway.
