We build cultural competence and community through our ESL, citizenship, and digital literacy courses that help our clients acclimate to their new lives in Seattle. 0 0 37502 0 0 ESL and Citizenship Programs: Our ESL program is offered year-round in 10-week increments. Twice a week, native English speaking and bilingual instructors gather with our clients to teach conversational English in context-focused classes. Classes emphasize social interaction and language skills for specific situations in a safe learning environment. Clients practice language useful for job-seeking and managing other life tasks. This runs hand-in-hand with our citizenship and naturalization classes which focus on American history, government, and social studies. 37502 0 0 Technology and Digital Literacy Program: Focused primarily on computers and iPad use, this course meets twice a week to instruct clients on basic technology use in order to help clients develop skills needed for employment opportunities. The course also teaches clients to use technology and social media to maintain communication, navigate around the city, and stay connected with their community. Our clients are given new means to assimilate to their new home. This, along with the relationships forged amongst clients and volunteers, helps build confidence and prevent the isolation common to immigrant communities. 75004 0 350 Information and Referral Services: About one third of our Executive Director's time is spent providing assistance to families and individuals regarding accessing services and navigating challenges in areas such as education, health, employment, and immigration. We have a firm working relationship with other agencies who specialize in these services through a culturally competent lens reflective of our community's needs. Through this work, our clients are able to partake in their rights and build their lives in order to contribute to the well-being of their families and this city. 0 0 0 150008 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 5 5 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 0 X Minh-Duc Nguyen 2065685160 1032 S Jackson St Suite C Seattle WA 98104 X Minh-Duc Nguyen Executive Director 40 0 X 136420 0 9952 Miesha Vaughn President 2 0 X X 0 0 0 Jen Koo Treasurer 2 0 X X 0 0 0 Arthur John Block Secretary 2 0 X X 0 0 0 Kim Phi Nguyen Director 2 0 X 0 0 0 Christina Davidson Director 2 0 X 0 0 0 136420 0 9952 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 41112 0 30299 156197 0 227608 Information & Referral Services Program 900099 350 350 0 0 0 0 0 0 350 15 0 0 15 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 2670 41112 5276 -2606 0 -2606 0 225367 350 0 -2591 X 146372 124415 7319 14638 10694 9090 535 1069 2223 2223 490 490 5084 3301 1147 636 634 634 9973 8477 499 997 88 88 1001 1001 711 711 Program Supplies 2228 1801 0 427 179498 150008 11723 17767 143619 55665 55456 155471 3000 37598 18000 500 1684 31755 17840 13915 220575 264333 6440 6254 1925 8365 6254 X 212210 258079 0 0 212210 258079 220575 264333 45869 0 0 0 0 0 X 0 0 0 X 108789 96430 28284 192411 227608 653522 4238 5242 250 18000 350 28080 113027 101672 28534 210411 227958 681602 30069 25000 2373 119838 194081 371361 30069 25000 2373 119838 194081 371361 310241 11 16 11 15 53 0 11 16 11 15 53 113027 101683 28550 210422 227973 681655 0.45513 0.67663 0.00008 0.00007 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 31755 17840 13915 0 0 0 0 13915 Annual Celebration 43782 41112 2670 0 0 1824 2000 0 1452 0 0 43782 41112 2670 0 0 1824 2000 0 1452 5276 -2606 Form 990, Part III, Line 1 Helping Link refers to the individuals that use our services (Vietnamese immigrants, refugees, and native born) as clients.
