Why was Unity to Serve founded?
Unity to Serve was founded to uplift Afghan refugee families—especially women—rebuilding their lives in California amid significant challenges like language barriers, limited work experience, and lack of support.
Since 2021, thousands of Afghan families have made California their home, bringing resilience, hope, and determination to create brighter futures. Yet many women remain excluded from economic opportunity due to limited English proficiency, minimal U.S. job experience, and fragile support systems. Language gaps and a labor market favoring fluent speakers often prevent them from entering the workforce.
Unity to Serve transforms these challenges into opportunities.
Through targeted job placement, skills development, mentorship, and comprehensive community support, we empower women to thrive, lead, and contribute meaningfully to their communities. Backed by a dedicated team and committed partners, we are building inclusive, thriving communities where every family is valued, supported, and empowered to succeed.
