To provide year-round English Language Learning (ELL) programs and integration services for adult refugees and internationals in Knoxville.

Our year-round English program, in-person and online, offers seven levels of English language education, from beginner to advanced, preparation for TOEFL, and HiSET exams.

Other services include:

• Help with transportation
• Childcare
• Diapers, food, and household goods distribution
• Summer Youth Program
• Driver's education
• Preparation for earning U.S. citizenship.
