These refugees have received our support in the form of comprehensive case management, information, referral and employment services. English for Elders and citizenship classes, all staffed by volunteers, meet throughout the year at JFS and at the Jewish Community Center. Resettlement activities are funded by the Jewish Federation of Greater Springfield , The Jewish Endowment Foundation, Hebrew Immigrant Aid Society , state and federal agencies and private contributions. Donated furniture from hundreds of generous individuals have eased the initial settlement costs for New Americans. ESL classes are geared to the level of each student.
Classes range in size from one to fifteen.
