Community Accompaniment Program With Asylum-Seekers (CAPAS)
Accompanying asylum-seekers on their journey to freedom, promoting solidarity with people seeking refuge from persecution
Building welcoming communities
Throughout history and across borders, people have found ways to accompany and support those who are at risk of persecution. UUSC works with community groups and Unitarian Universalist congregations as they assist individuals and families seeking safety to overcome obstacles throughout the process of obtaining legal asylum in the United States.
We invite you to join us in this journey of welcoming people and providing solidarity. As individuals navigate increasingly challenging immigration systems and policies, your support can be the critical component that unlocks doors of opportunity and helps families establish their lives in new communities. UUSC provides multiple ways to get involved. We can work with you to figure out the best role for you and your group at this time.
UUSC staff will work closely with you throughout the process and provide ongoing support and connection to other groups doing similar work. If you are interested in learning more about accompaniment opportunities, please fill out this form, and we will contact you.
We look forward to working together!
