Refugee Assistance Program

Refugee Assistance Program (RAP)

RAP classes help students improve their English language ability, develop skills necessary to find employment, and function in their everyday English language environment. The Maryland Office for Refugees and Asylees (MORA) provides grant funding for the program. All RAP classes are FREE for students. Flexible day and evening schedules allow students to arrange their study time around their work life. RAP serves adult refugees and asylees who have lived in the U.S. for five years or less. In partnership with community organizations and employers, RAP also offers on-site ESL classes to meet the specific language needs of refugees.
