St. Teresa's Asylum Seeker Satellite Site: We are a group of social workers and case managers who create a welcoming environment for asylum seekers. We provide assistance that includes the provision of social services, access to goods, advocacy, focus groups, and general support. Assistance can be crisis intervention and/or more long-term planning to help people adjust to life in NYC.

*For the next several months, Catholic Charities staff needs YOUR help welcoming asylum seekers to the building, answering questions in the waiting room, assisting guests with applications, and helping the staff with administrated tasks!
