RIT, formerly Refugee Transitions, is a nonprofit that partners with people who have sought refuge in the U.S. to create education, family engagement, and community leadership opportunities. Education is at the core of its services, and its work is rooted in a strengths-based approach. The organization creates safe and welcoming spaces that honor students’ cultures and build a vibrant community, and it believes that newcomers can provide the strongest solutions to the challenges faced by their communities. Its programs build cross-cultural bridges by engaging volunteers, cultivate mutually beneficial cross-cultural relationships, and co-create opportunities for newcomer leadership. Community Leaders provide multilingual assistance and act as community liaisons, and the programs connect newcomer families to vital community resources and reduce social isolation. The agency was founded in 1982 as the Refugee Women’s Program. Its mission is to welcome and partner with people who have sought refuge, employing strengths-based educational approaches and community supports so they may thrive in shared communities. The organization works closely with partners around the Bay Area, including schools, school districts, refugee resettlement agencies, and other nonprofits, and participates in several regional coalitions and forums focused on asylee, immigrant, and refugee services.
