About This Cause
ACCIS helps newcomers build their futures—while honoring where they come from—so they can confidently contribute to their new community through Referral Services, Women and Youth Empowerment Programs, and Cultural Integration Activities. How ACCIS Creates Real Change Immigrants and refugees face many challenges when transitioning into a new country and culture. These include language barriers, difficulty finding employment, limited knowledge of available services, a lack of youth programs, mental health struggles, culture shock, and identity confusion. Social isolation and the absence of community activities only make things harder. At ACCIS, we turn these challenges into opportunities for empowerment and growth. Through targeted, culturally responsive programs, we help newcomers build strong foundations for success—while honoring their unique identities. Referral Services: Connecting People to What They Need Most Newcomers often don’t know where to begin. ACCIS helps them take the first step with dignity and direction. We offer trusted referrals to local agencies and programs that provide: • Employment services and job readiness support • English language classes • Healthcare access and mental health support • Immigration and disability assistance Our team listens to each individual’s needs and connects them with the right resources to overcome barriers and begin building a stable, confident future. Women Empowerment: Creating Opportunity from Within Women in refugee and immigrant families often face the steepest barriers, yet they are also the most powerful agents of change. Our Women Empowerment Program offers: • Training in home-based catering and childcare licensing • Business planning and income generation support • Wellness and mindfulness workshops to promote mental health This program equips women to become entrepreneurs, generate income, support their families, and contribute to the local economy. When women thrive, their children thrive—and entire communities are strengthened. Youth Enrichment: Raising Confident, Emotionally Intelligent Leaders Many refugee and immigrant youth struggle with identity, confidence, and emotional expression. ACCIS creates safe, welcoming spaces where they can learn, grow, and connect. We offer: • Culturally responsive art and enrichment workshops • Activities that develop emotional intelligence and self-worth • Programs aligned with the UN Sustainable Development Goals By investing in our youth, we are building the future of an inclusive and thriving Sacramento. Community Involvement: Building Bridges, Celebrating Culture Integration doesn’t happen in isolation; it happens through connection. Our Community Involvement Program helps newcomers feel seen and celebrated and helps the broader public understand and appreciate diverse cultures. We host: • The annual Culture and Food Festival • Family-friendly potlucks, picnics, and fundraisers • Participation in local events and outreach across Sacramento These joyful experiences foster belonging, reduce isolation, and support a more unified and welcoming community.
