A1: Access to reliable transit is a must for anyone seeking a job in America. Owning a car in increases the likelihood of employment. Many of our auto loan recipients use their vehicle to increase the amount of jobs they can apply for and hours they can work. #RefugeesThrive

A4: Employers should embrace the existing skill-sets and credentials of refugees AND recognize the unique challenges faced outside of work. Diversity is strength, and that requires real work within organizations. #RefugeesThrive

A7: Be welcoming and remember that refugees want the same things as everyone else. A sense of security for themselves and their families, and opportunities to be included in their community. #RefugeesThrive
