Programs

  • Assistance in legal and Immigration related fees:

We know how hard it can be to find legal assistance without fees when you are an immigrant or refugee in the U.S. Our office will help with any legal fees related to immigration, free of charge. We also know the need for our community to become naturalized citizens. We will also assist those immigrants and refugees who are eligible to apply for their citizenship but need help to afford the application fees. Finally, we will help with passport application fees for those who want to apply for passports to travel and visit or reunite with their families and loved ones.   

  • Scholarships:

FCS will provide scholarships to immigrant and refugee students taking classes in medical-related courses, pursuing a career in the medical field, or those who want to become state-certified interpreters or have already passed the exam this calendar year.

  • Assistance with any sporting activity:

We understand the impact physical activity can have on one’s health; for this reason, FCS is providing assistance in any sport-related activity, whether sponsoring teams to attend leagues, such as soccer, basketball, or football, or helping low-income children learn the lifesaving skill of swimming.

This program is started June 2019 and still going on strong, it has been stablished to help seniors feel included, our seniors don’t go outside homes and before we started the program most of them did not know where centers for senior located. This program helps our seniors and disabled individuals to choose their own time and date for transporting go and back to cover their needs whether it is grocery, shopping or medical appointment and so on, thanks for King County for giving us retired Van that makes it easy to do our senior services, it also makes easy holding meetings with our youth to have space for storytelling.

Since the Covid-19 erupted and spread in the nationwide, we added the program of delivering cultural relevant food to the senior/disabled doors once in every month to minimize or stop spreading the virus and following the guidelines of CDC such as keeping social distancing, wearing facemask, washing hands and using hand sanitizer. The program makes appointments for Covid-19 testing and vaccinating it also helps transportation and interpreter if needed
