Our mission is to create a community where refugees are welcomed and equipped with all they need to build new lives. At Canopy, we are committed to welcoming and equipping refugees with the various services and skills they need to build new lives here in the United States. Since 2016, we have welcomed nearly 200 refugees to NWA, enrolled over 50 children in school, taught over 400 hours of cultural orientation, and worked with over a dozen employers in the community.
Read Canopy's story now. We provide intensive case management and basic needs support for new arrivals' first 90-180 days in the country. We set them up in stable housing, connect them to health services, provide job training, and more. As a part of our resettlement assistance, we provide employment services and ongoing integration support through an after-school program, a refugee health promotion program and an ongoing employment program.
To truly feel home in a new place takes time and work. Under Canopy's Long Welcome initiative, our Integration Support Services are extended for up to 5 years and expanded to serve a larger community.

Services
In 2015, dozens of Northwest Arkansas residents from across the community came together to respond to the ongoing global refugee crisis.
These community members wanted to do something to help, but quickly found that there was no way to support refugees through resettlement assistance in the state of Arkansas because there wasn't an active resettlement agency in the state.
All across Northwest Arkansas, the grassroots interest in welcoming refugees continued to grow and spurred community action.

A refugee is a person who is unable or unwilling to return to his or her home country because of a "well-founded fear of persecution" due to race, membership in a particular social group, political opinion, religion, or national origin.
This means that in order to be a refugee, you can't just be in any type of danger-you must be in danger because of who you are.
Under President Carter, Congress passed the Refugee Act of 1980, which incorporated the U.N. Convention's definition into U.S. law and provides the legal basis for today's U.S. Refugee Admissions Program (USRAP).
