From first welcome to steady work and citizenship, RFSC walks beside refugee and immigrant families from every corner of the world.
History · Mission · Location
In 1982, Southeast Asian refugees formed Mutual Assistance Associations and created SEARF — a grassroots nonprofit staffed and managed by refugees for refugees. As new communities arrived with shared hopes and challenges, the organization became the Refugee Federation Service Center (RFSC).
We help refugees and immigrants become self-sufficient, productive members of society while maintaining cultural and ethnic identity — and we serve as a resource for local companies and agencies across the Puget Sound.
Programs
Three pathways work together so families can find work, stabilize daily life, and build a permanent home in America.
Career guidance, job readiness, resume help, interview preparation, workshops, and placement — matched to your skills and goals.
Case management, family support, and practical help that reduce barriers so you can focus on work, school, and stability.
Preparation classes and guidance that support your path to U.S. citizenship with instructors who understand your journey.
Job development
For more than 35 years, RFSC has partnered with local employers. Job developers match job-ready clients to real openings, prepare candidates for the workplace, and stay available after placement for translation, barrier reduction, and conflict resolution.
