ZCMF Refugee and immigrant assistant program


ZCMF members are refugees and immigrants themselves. We collaborate with Catholic Charitie, Lutheran Community Services, Immigrant and Refugee Community Organization (IRCO), SOAR Immigration Legal Services and Church World Service.

We work with thousands of refugees and immigrants each year. We find a place to live and work for refugees and immigrants. We equip with the skills, resource and support they needs, help them learn English, offer them free Citizenship Classes, get ready for the Naturalization Interview and test, gain citizenship, and become productive members in their communities.

We offer services without regard to religious belief, national origin, ethnicity, immigration status, gender, age, marital status, veteran status and political affiliation.

ZCMF also collaborates and partners with Karen, Kachin, Kaya community and refugee organizations from Myanmar.  Chin Association of Maryland (CAM), Zomi Community USA (ZIUSA) and Chin Churches in USA.
