New American Pathways

What New American Pathways does

New American Pathways is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia, that delivers a fully integrated continuum of services to refugees and immigrants across the state — from initial arrival and resettlement through long-term self-sufficiency, naturalization, and civic participation. The organization was created on October 1, 2014 through the merger of Refugee Resettlement and Immigration Services of Atlanta (RRISA, founded 1977) and Refugee Family Services (RFS, founded 1994), consolidating nearly four decades of complementary service experience under a single operating entity. Its core client base is refugees and asylees within five years of U.S. arrival — including Special Immigrant Visa holders, Cuban-Haitian Entrants, and human trafficking survivors — supplemented by immigrant families seeking low-cost legal immigration services, refugee and immigrant youth in DeKalb County schools, and parents of young children.

The service portfolio spans ten core programs organized around four milestone pillars (safety & stability, self-sufficiency, success, and service): ongoing and intensive case management, employment placement, low-cost immigration legal services (adjustment of status, naturalization, family petitions), the Bright Futures after-school program at four DeKalb County schools, the Parents As Teachers home-visiting program, the Civic Pathways leadership development program, SNAP nutrition outreach, the AmeriCorps Project RISE service program, and the Cuban-Haitian PC GAP program. Service delivery is executed through direct human interaction — in-office consultations, school-based programming, and home visits — rather than proprietary technology; the organization explicitly operates without a core technology platform and instead leverages structural referral partnerships (Church World Service as national affiliate for case assignment, DeKalb County School District for education, University of Georgia's J.W. Fanning Institute for leadership programming).

The revenue model combines diversified nonprofit funding — federal government grants, foundation support, corporate and individual donations, and the annual Red, White & Do fundraising gala — with modest fee-for-service income from low-cost immigration legal services (with government fee waivers available for qualifying clients). Organizational reach includes 5,000+ clients served annually, 100+ professional staff, 14 AmeriCorps members, hundreds of volunteers contributing thousands of service hours, and 27+ languages spoken across the staff. The organization holds structural convening power through its CEO's roles as first chair of the 30-member Coalition of Refugee Service Agencies (CRSA) and chair of the statewide Business and Immigration for Georgia (BIG) Partnership.
