WHERE WE SERVE

THE OPEN DOOR
NYC area has one of the highest immigrant populations in the country. However, low-income immigrant families often face difficulty in every area of life, including employment, medical care, housing, and education. The Open Door addresses these problems by equipping individuals with skills they need to successfully integrate into our society. Volunteers teach english at one of their in person sites in the UWS or East Harlem.

JUSTICE & MERCY WITH REUNION
As a community we are not interested in solely existing for ourselves. Because of this, we have established a variety of opportunities across the city for you to sign up and serve with below.
We also have a justice and mercy team that meets quarterly to determine ways of loving our neighbors for lasting impact. We are committed to meeting both tangible needs and educating ourselves toward the long term work of justice. If you are interested in joining this team, you can email us here.
