Highlighted in the following are some of the outcomes and major impacts in 2023. In 2023 alone we assisted over 4500 individuals with Citizenship and English language training naturalization applications and other immigration requirements as well as provided support in gaining employment and training mentorship and scholarships and college & university admissions. This made a total of over 30,000 individuals served since 2011. Similarly we continued providing technical assistance to a number of start-up organizations including those that are faith-based which is an important part of the overall successful integration into the community. The Upward College Program UCP for high school students continued to maintain 100% admissions to postsecondary institutions for the students who completed this BACI program. Furthermore we helped over 50% of current college students who were previously enrolled in the UCP to receive scholarships. This past year also saw the college going rate among the Burmese recent high school graduates increase to 93% from 43% in 2014. In response to the emerging needs in the community especially in light of COVID-19 impact we have been able to enhance our basic needs assistance and mental health related service provision while also joining the resettlement community in the US to welcome refugees reflecting the Hoosiers hospitality and the American leadership.
