Partnership Opportunities
Without community partnership, our work would be nearly impossible. RAISE is always looking for new opportunities to connect with property owners, employers and financial partners who want to help create welcoming, thriving communities including refugees.
HOUSING
We are looking for landlords and property owners willing to rent to RAISE arrivals. Our housing staff will work with you to ensure the situation is a good fit for both parties.
FINANCIAL
Money makes the world go around, and when you find yourself suddenly on the other side of the world, unfamiliar financial systems and practices require some adjustment. That’s why we’re actively seeking financial advisors, banking professionals and educators who are willing to lend their time and resources to our cause.
EMPLOYMENT
We need interested potential employers to hire RAISE candidates. Not only are immigrants and refugees highly motivated to work and contribute, but we work with them to ensure they are prepared for their new workplace environments.
GET IN TOUCH WITH RAISE
