Participating in the Immigrant Buddies program has been impactful and enriching. Witnessing immigrants secure employment and navigate the process of obtaining licenses has been rewarding and motivating.

Immigrant Buddies is a great program to help immigrants become rooted in their new home away from home. It is a great way to help guide others to feel less overwhelmed in understanding the new cultural norms, obtaining resources to get adjusted better, and have someone to talk that has been here longer.

Joining the Immigrant Buddies program has been incredibly helpful for me. I met amazing people through Immigrant Buddies who have been a great support. Having a Buddy's support during the adaptation process was really valuable, making me feel more at ease and helping me settle in faster. Plus, making local friends through the program kept me social. Thanks to Immigrant Buddies, adjusting to my new life in the U.S. has been much smoother and more enjoyable.

Being a buddy is a door to meet people from many cultures and backgrounds. It also allows me to use my skills of providing knowledge and being compassionate towards helping people trying to navigate the United States.
