Social Services
Economic Empowerment
We empower the refugees and immigrants we serve by providing job-readiness services that prepares them to enter the workforce through resume writing, one-on-one job search and job placements.
Basics
We connect the families and individuals we serve to basic resources that are essential for daily living. From food access to housing stability, and quality healthcare, we ensure they are all fully assisted. Overall we provide culturally and linguistically appropriate access to health care, health information, and public benefits enrollment assistance.
Education
Education is a core part of our work. We provide resources and referrals to Adult literacy programs, Civic engagement opportunities and create awareness and education about healthy living, academic counseling for youth and information about their basic rights.
SDC International

Our Mission
The mission of SDC- International is to provide consistently excellent and accessible community services to all Somalis (and other African communities) in Boston, regardless of immigration status.
