PROVIDING OPPORTUNITIES, REALIZING DREAMS

2017ANNUAL REPORT A MESSAGE FROM OUR BOARD CHAIR AND EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR PAGE 2

Dear Friends:

Despite the unsettled atmosphere in our country during 2017, the staff and volunteers at Building One Community: The Center for Immigrant Opportunity did a remarkable job of continuing to serve the immigrant community in the greater Stamford area. While others were focused on building walls, increasing deportations and implementing restrictive immigration laws, we worked with 2,821 clients from 54 countries, providing them with opportunities to learn, to work, and to become productive members of our community.

Clearly, assistance for our population has been particularly important during the past year. In response, we launched a new Immigration Legal Services program, and we are developing Community Support teams to help individuals and families who are involved in legal immigration issues. We sponsored information forums to provide timely and relevant information to our low-income clients and other community members. Of course, we continued our ongoing programs to help clients feel safe and welcome in our community. Students share a moment of fun in an English as a Second Language class taught by a high school In all of our work, we are guided by our mission to bring passionate people together to help immigrants and their volunteer. families succeed in the community. During 2017, in support of this mission:

• 1,438 clients enrolled in English as a Second Language (ESL) or Vocational ESL (VESL) classes;

• 579 clients obtained jobs or participated in job skills training classes and formal certification programs to increase employability skills; and

• 1,266 clients participated in support programs for assistance with immigration issues, health care, tax preparation, parenting and school engagement.

Building One Community focuses on creating opportunities for immigrants seeking to expand their skills and improve their lives. Our programs educate, employ and empower them, and engage the entire community in the SNAPSHOT OF 2017 process. In this report, we look at opportunities for immigrants to learn, earn, and succeed – and opportunities for our many volunteers and friends to support their efforts. 2,821 While our staff and volunteers provide opportunities for our clients on a daily basis, community partners and ACTIVE CLIENTS, financial supporters also are key to our success. By contributing over $1.5 million in 2017, our donors supported REPRESENTING 54 COUNTRIES everything we do. Our community partners provided many specialized services for our clients. In addition, during the past year, 447 individual volunteers provided over 12,000 volunteer hours – equivalent to the work of almost six full-time employees – and we continue to welcome volunteers who are passionate about our mission.

1,438 We encourage you to read the stories that follow about the community we have created together. With your ACTIVE ESL LEARNERS support, we look forward to providing opportunities and realizing dreams to help the immigrants who come to 299 Building One Community: The Center for Immigrant Opportunity.

Education and Training at B1C: Research shows that limited English proficiency is the most significant barrier to immigrants’ success in this country. To help our clients develop language skills, Building One Community offers all levels of general English as a Second Language (ESL) classes. We provided 3,622 hours of instruction for 1,337 clients in 2017. These classes are essential in moving our clients beyond “survival English” and qualifying them for more skilled, higher-wage jobs. In 2017, our Skills Development Program trained 484 students in three program tracks: • Home Health Aide, • Culinary and Catering Services, and • Construction and Landscaping.

All three of these areas have formal curricula, which include the technical and language skills needed for employment. Home Health Aide students follow a track designed and taught in conjunction with a valued program partner, Norwalk Community College. Participants receive certificates of completion for many of these courses, and our Home Health Aides receive certificates at their own graduation ceremony. Students in this track also may take fewer courses and qualify as CPR technicians or home care companions. We also have developed Vocational ESL (VESL) classes to accompany each of these course tracks; 185 clients received a total of 317 hours of instruction in VESL during 2017. For children, we offer rotating homework help, tutoring and reading programs in our Center throughout the year. Adult and high school student volunteers organize, manage and staff these sessions, which occupy after-school hours as well as Saturday mornings. A key element of our Home Health Aide curriculum is sessions held at Norwalk Community College’s laboratory classrooms, where students practice the many skills they will need to safely and successfully work with clients.

Seizing the Opportunity: Working, Earning and Building Skills A trio of clients from Building One Community is helping Stamford-based U.S. Games Systems serve the market for family games and playing card decks. They work in the company’s warehouse, organizing stock as it is received and packaging it for national and international shipments. All three of the men are from Haiti, and Ernso, the most experienced, celebrated his one-year anniversary with the company in May. When the company expanded their staff, they turned again to B1C and hired Stivens and Robenson. Ernso came to the United States after working as a civil engineer in Haiti. He was taking courses in English as a Second Language (ESL) and in B1C’s Skills Development Program (SDP) when a teacher suggested that he register with the Hiring Site at B1C. Soon after that, he was placed into his current job. Stivens was employed at a call center for the American/Canadian Red Cross in Haiti. Arriving in the United States, he also started taking ESL and SDP classes, and B1C staff members encouraged him to register for employment. When U.S. Games Systems needed another worker, Stivens was ready to answer the call. Robenson, the most recent hire, was an accountant at a marketing agency in Haiti. A friend told him about B1C, and he started to take advantage of the classes and other kinds of help offered at the Center. As he said, “There are lots of programs here for me, and I have had a lot of practice in learning English especially.” Stuart Kaplan, U.S. Games Systems’ chairman, is pleased with the work ethic demonstrated by his employees. “They’re always on time, eager to work and eager to learn. And as long as they’re willing to learn, I’m willing to give them more Stuart, Ernso, Robenson and Stivens make up a opportunities to advance. If we need anyone else, strong team at U.S. Games Systems in Stamford. we’ll come to B1C first.” OPPORTUNITIES TO EARN: EMPLOYMENT FOR OUR CLIENTS PAGE 7

The Hiring Site at B1C The Hiring Site at Building One Community helps employers connect with workers for daily or more permanent jobs in a safe, secure and simple way, and this service is provided at no cost to both employers and workers. Hiring Site staff members, who are all multilingual, are familiar with the skills and work histories of our clients. The staff at B1C makes sure that employers agree to provide a fair hourly wage and works with them to determine requirements for transportation and language skills. Feedback from all parties provides benefits for the workers as well as our Hiring Site staff, since the information can be used to inform our training programs and enhance our quality of service. In 2017, 119 clients obtained work through the Hiring Site, totaling 866 placements and 2,291 days of work. To help our clients develop skills for employment, B1C offers several types of courses. In addition to English language skills, these courses cover topics such as basic job safety requirements, job skills, and the pricing of work and preparation of job estimates. We implemented a new program in 2017 that recovered $23,933 in unpaid wages, an unfortunate issue that affects many workers in service industries. Many clients who complete our Skills Development Program find employment through the Hiring Site.

We regularly place workers as: • Home Health Aides and Homecare Companions; • Waitstaff, party helpers, bartenders, and prep cooks; and • Landscaping, masonry, painting and construction workers, moving helpers and housekeepers. Tatiana, a student in the Culinary and Catering track of the Skills Development Program at B1C, puts her knowledge to good use as she helps to cater an event for one of our program partners, Ratatouille and Company. OPPORTUNITIES TO SUCCEED: EMPOWERMENT FOR OUR CLIENTS PAGE 8

Seizing the Opportunity: Making a Home in Stamford Miriam, Raphael, Allison and Brianna have fought – so far successfully – to stay together as a family in Stamford. Their story has been told in local, national and international media, and they are grateful for all of the support they have received. Miriam came from Guatemala and works as a housecleaner and Raphael, a Peruvian, owns and operates his own food truck. Their daughters, Allison and Brianna, were born in Stamford, and now attend Stamford Public Schools. Both are good students, and Brianna faces a special challenge because she was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes in 2015. Miriam monitors the insulin pump that Brianna wears and, when it occasionally fails to deliver enough insulin, she gives Brianna a shot to maintain her blood sugar level. Clearly, her deportation would have caused major disruption for the family, so B1C stepped in to help her stay in Stamford. When the deportation order was issued, B1C staff members connected the family with Glenn Formica, an attorney with substantial experience in deportation cases, and someone from B1C stayed with the family at their home every day. B1C informed elected officials – including Stamford Mayor David Martin, state representatives, U.S. Representative Jim Himes, and U.S. Senators Richard Blumenthal and Chris Murphy – about Miriam’s case and enlisted their support. Her imminent deportation was halted and volunteers from B1C continue driving Miriam to Hartford every two weeks for her check-in appointments with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. Keeping Raphael and Miriam and their girls in Stamford has been, and will continue to be, a team effort. And while they have other sources of support, B1C remains a special place for them. As Rafael concluded, “Catalina (B1C’s Executive Director) and Raphael, Brianna, Miriam and Allison have been able to stay together, her team have been our backbone, a real source of as a family, in Stamford. Allison intends to become a pediatrician support for us. And so many people here have been and Brianna is still interested in exploring many careers. so wonderful.” OPPORTUNITIES TO SUCCEED: EMPOWERMENT FOR OUR CLIENTS PAGE 9

Seizing the Opportunity: Feeling the “Heart” at B1C The mother-daughter team of Birgit and Charlotte are familiar faces at Building One Community. They both started out as volunteers in the Summer Reading Program, which helps elementary school students and their parents practice and build their reading skills. From there, Birgit developed an interest in the Immigration Legal Services program, while Charlotte continued to work with children as a math tutor in the Homework and Enrichment Club. As an outgrowth of her work, she has created an elementary-grade math program that will be used this summer by families who rely on B1C for academic support. Birgit came to the United States from Germany more than 20 years ago. She values her experience at B1C because, as she explained, “A lot of times our exposure to immigration is through the media. Being here (at B1C) makes it much more personal and gives a valuable perspective that everyone could benefit from.” Working with the Immigration Legal Services program, Birgit helps with “anything that needs doing,” as she said. The program has walk-in hours on Tuesdays and Thursdays, and Birgit greets the clients and assists them with completing the information form, as well as making follow-up phone calls. Asked why they chose B1C as a volunteer focus, Charlotte responded, “There’s a lot of passion here, and I get so much energy from the clients.” Birgit added, “It expands our world, too. I get out of this work as much or more than I give. There are not many organizations that do as much as Building One Community. It’s very holistic, and the people are very dedicated to helping immigrants. They have a lot of heart here.” Charlotte and Birgit enjoy working with children and adults at B1C, volunteering with the Immigration Legal Services Program, Homework and Enrichment Club and Summer Reading Program.
