Our Mission
Canopy’s mission is to create a community where refugees are welcomed and equipped with all they need to build new lives.
Since December 2016, Canopy NWA has welcomed more than 650 refugees to Northwest Arkansas!
WHAT WE DO
Upon the arrival of newly-settled refugee families into Northwest Arkansas, Canopy offers comprehensive case management and financial assistance. By the conclusion of the resettlement period, the goal is for all families to achieve self-sufficiency and thrive in their new communities.
Resettlement Assistance + Support
We provide intensive case management and basic needs support for new arrivals’ first 90-180 days in the country. We set them up in stable housing, connect them to health services, provide job training, and more.
Employment + Integration Services
As a part of our resettlement assistance, we provide employment services and ongoing integration support through an after-school program, a refugee health promotion program and an ongoing employment program.
The Long Welcome
To truly feel home in a new place takes time and work. Under Canopy’s Long Welcome initiative, our Integration Support Services are extended for up to 5 years and expanded to serve a larger community.
Community Engagement
Community is the foundation of home. We work to connect our families to community partners, volunteers and mentors who can form a robust network of support.
