your first time on our show.
Thanks and welcome.
Speaker 2 (00:30):
Thank you for the invite, Dave.
Speaker 1 (00:32):
Yeah, so this is I follow along with what happens
with Mart Anna, previousdirector is involved in the
church that I attend, at theMennonite Church, so I have a
little bit of a background onwhat all you do and this is an
effort.
That probably what the historyis, what three, four years 2021,
(00:53):
.
Speaker 2 (00:53):
Since 2021, yes.
Speaker 1 (00:54):
Okay, so that's four years, so I wasn't that far off.
That's rare for me to be thatmuch on target, but this is your
first time.
You've been in the job for justa few months now.
Speaker 2 (01:06):
And the job prep.
Yeah, in this position for afew months, but I've been with
MART since 2021.
Gotcha.
Speaker 1 (01:11):
Okay.
Well, why don't you give us alittle bit of a background on
you before we jump into our talkabout MART?
Speaker 2 (01:20):
Sure.
So I started with Mar, justwith my previous position at the
school district, just trying tohelp Mar with the new arrivals,
relocating them here, trying tomake that transition as easy as
possible for children to beenrolled in schools, for parents
to understand our school system.
(01:40):
And then I took a yearsabbatical with my husband and
then when I came back I justlanded in the position as a
programs manager, specificallyjust working with these federal
funded programs directly toprovide services to our refugees
employability, refugee healthpromotions, english language
(02:02):
training and so on.
Speaker 1 (02:04):
There are a lot of factors in this, aren't there?
Speaker 2 (02:06):
Yep.
Speaker 1 (02:07):
Yeah, so how did MART initially get started in 2021?
Speaker 2 (02:12):
So it all started with the withdrawal of our
American troops from Afghanistan.
If you remember, in 2021, wehave here in town in Manhattan,
aaron Estabrook and FatimaJagouri, who were already
organizing how to bring ourallies here back to safety.
As it started with two people,it grew exponentially as they
(02:37):
were partnering withorganizations people different
religious organizations as well,people different religious
organizations as well and afterthat, starting October 2021, we
received our first family herein Manhattan.
Speaker 1 (02:54):
How many?
Speaker 2 (02:55):
do you work with now?
Oh, we have active clients.
We have 175 active clients, butwe have served over 250 clients
in the last years.
Goodness, that's a lot of workin four years' time, isn't it?
It is a lot of work, but thesenumbers show also the resilience
in how these programs areworking well with our clients.
(03:16):
So many of these clients havealready migrated out of town.
Others' clients have justexited our programs because
they're already self-sufficient.
They just don't need us anymore.
They know how to navigate ourcommunity.
They know how to find jobs.
They know how to you knowunderstand what, how to rent a
house, understand our healthsystem.
(03:38):
Um, so it's, it's.
It has been a process.
It's a.
It's a.
I will say it's a very hardprocess, but once you get there,
you will see the results fastenough.
Speaker 1 (03:56):
What are some of the specific things that you assist
them with?
Speaker 2 (04:02):
So we started assisting them from arrival, so
we get notifications when theyare coming.
We're starting preparinghousing, housing items, clothing
and picking them up at theairport transportation.
Picking them up at the airporttransportation and their initial
evaluation assessment jobassessment, trying to understand
(04:29):
what are the skills that thesefamilies are bringing into a
community and trying to match itwith the demands that are here
in the community.
At the same time, enrolling inschool, provide them medical
screenings, all the basic needsthat are needed from
documentation, helping themcompleting social security cards
, employment authorization cardsand just showing them around.
Speaker 1 (04:51):
I would imagine that the paperwork aspect has got to
be one of the more challengingthings, because there's so many
different intricate fingers thateverybody is reaching in that
are trying to get the documentsthey need in order to be
self-sustaining in the community.
Speaker 2 (05:04):
Yeah, so we try to work like an orchestra because
there are things that need tokind of come in place at the
same time.
So we need, of course, anemployment authorization card in
order to find a job, but at thesame time, we cannot wait until
we have the physical.
We still need to start gettingthat job for that person while
the process is going on.
(05:25):
The same with housing, I mean,we cannot wait to have all the
documents that are required toget to rent a house.
We still need to have tonegotiate with landlords,
property management company overhere, to say, yeah, the
paperwork is coming.
You need to be we need to be alittle bit flexible in these
cases and it has worked out verywell.
Speaker 1 (05:45):
Does it help a property owner or manager to
have some confidence in the factthat these documents will show
up?
By helping these individualsthrough MARC?
Speaker 2 (05:59):
Yes, yes, yes.
So we try to introduceourselves, what our agency does
and show all the partnershipsthat we created here in town.
Already we have severalcompanies working partnering
with us to facilitate thatprocess and so far it has worked
.
Of course we have some bumpsand downs, but it has worked
(06:20):
very well.
Speaker 1 (06:20):
Yeah, do you know how many people you've placed in
jobs here in Manhattan?
Speaker 2 (06:24):
Specifically numbers.
I would say close to 100, butyeah, more or less.
Speaker 1 (06:30):
That's a pretty good percentage of all those that
have come in.
How many?
And do you keep track of thenumber of nationalities of
individuals that you have comethrough the doors?
Yes, we do.
Speaker 2 (06:40):
Yeah, so we have people from Afghanistan, we have
people from Congo, we havepeople from Venezuela, people
from Nicaragua, guatemala, haiti, nepal and African Central
Republic.
Speaker 1 (06:56):
Many of them from south of the equator, then yes.
Okay, well, there's boy soundslike there's a lot that you got
your fingers in with all thedifferent things that you need
to assist them with.
Speaker 2 (07:09):
Right, including language as well.
So we need to provideinterpretation, translation,
which sometimes is a challenge.
Speaker 1 (07:17):
Do you find a lot of individuals that just really are
waiting to come and help withthese individuals that need that
assistance?
Speaker 2 (07:26):
Yes, so our pool of volunteers is active.
Active volunteer is close to, Iwill say, 70, 80 people.
We have more volunteers thatwhen they have time they come,
but active, active.
We have 70, 80 volunteers thatthey are just ready.
I mean, just let me know how wecan help and they're ready to
jump in and help us.
Speaker 1 (07:46):
Lots of times we'll ask an individual in your
capacity if you have a clientstory that you can share,
something that someone's come inthe doors and they probably
were rather bewildered as towhat their future may be like
here in this town in the centerof the United States of America,
and what do they have?
Give us one of those stories.
Speaker 2 (08:08):
There are a few stories oh, I bet there is one
that really highlights theresilience of the refugees and
it's no different from whatcould happen to any of us here.
So we have the case of a singlemom coming here with a basic
knowledge of English no networksupport network over here trying
(08:30):
to juggle between, hey, findinga job and childcare.
You need to find a job, right,but you need to childcare.
First a childcare, but in orderto find childcare, you need to
have a job right, but you needto child care first, a child
care.
But in order to find child care,you need to have a job, exactly
(08:52):
so how do we manage?
So we spent months trying toalign those things at the same
time, trying aligned at the samestarting date for the child
care the same day.
It was a six-month job oftrying to do that.
Speaker 1 (09:07):
Six months it took you to figure that out.
Yes, just for one family.
Speaker 2 (09:11):
Just one single mom.
I think probably was one of thehardest cases that we've had.
But this was in six months.
Took us that.
Um so, but this was in sixmonths.
Took us that.
But in less than six monthsthis person has already moved on
and completed a nail technicianprogram at the Luce Academy.
She graduated from there, uh,with our assistant, and she is
(09:35):
already in less than a year anda half.
She is independent,self-sufficient.
She's working as a nailtechnician right now and her
child is at school, so it'llwork out really well at the end.
Speaker 1 (09:52):
You are an organization.
No, you're a nonprofit.
We're a nonprofit and you mayjust briefly state.
You briefly state what yourincome comes from.
How do you support all thisactivity?
Do you have staff?
You're the executive directorand you talked about 70
volunteers.
That takes some human, humanresources.
Speaker 2 (10:15):
Yes, absolutely so.
We receive.
Our 90% of our budget comesfrom the federal government.
The rest come from donations,fundraising and whatnot.
We have currently fourfull-time staff in our office
Our volunteer coordinator.
She is a volunteer, so the onethat is in charge is just doing
(10:36):
volunteer work trying toorganize, interview our
volunteers, schedule their timeswith our clients or whatever
job is needed in our office.
Speaker 1 (10:50):
And you had mentioned that you do have some grant
money but you do fundraising.
Yes, and tell me what practicesyou have been engaged in when
it comes to fundraising.
Speaker 2 (11:02):
So right now I'm going to start with right now
because we are just kind oflaunching our fundraising for
this year we have a name and ourname is rooted in welcome,
growing in hope.
We wanted a name to reallydescribe our community.
Our community has been verywelcome to our mission, very
welcome to our clients, andthey're still the same as our
(11:26):
clients.
They are very resilient, theystill have hope that we can
provide service and this be aplace where they can, most of
them, settle and and start a newlife.
Our goal this year is to reach$165,000.
We aim to use these resourcesin expanding our English
language training program, morespecifically, in development and
(11:50):
job skills we have so far.
We have a small group of clientswho wants to go into the
medical service area, so we wantto kind of create something
that will help them build thevocab that they need, the skills
that they need, so they can goif they want to go to nursing
school or if they want to go tomedical school, if they want to
(12:11):
go to be a dentist, and theother part is also referred to
job readiness.
So we want not just to help themthat we already are also
referred to job readiness.
So we want not just to helpthem that we already are,
helping them to create resumes,to help them how to complete job
applications but we want themalso to understand the system.
What are your benefits when youare just signing a contract?
(12:34):
What are the things that youare responsible for signing a
contract?
What are the things that youare responsible for to um and,
at the same time, help them,empower them in knowing that the
first job is going to no, it'snot going to be the only job
that they're going to get, orthey are able, as, as they get
into the industry, whateverindustry it is, they have
opportunities.
They will have opportunitieslater on to improve their life,
(12:58):
get a better paid job and besuccessful.
So this is our main goal forthe fundraising campaign.
We have a generous donor thatwill match every contribution up
to $50,000.
Speaker 1 (13:14):
Really now.
Yes, it's nice to have somebodylike that that can help out.
Speaker 2 (13:18):
It is so.
That's what we wanted to focuslike a welcome community, a very
supported community, and it'sreflected on this.
Speaker 1 (13:26):
We wanted to be reflected on this campaign.
So what are you doing for thisfundraising?
How can someone find out andget involved?
Speaker 2 (13:35):
We are just getting right now, so this is very new.
Speaker 1 (13:38):
This is the first time we're talking about it.
Don't have everything in placeyet.
Speaker 2 (13:41):
Yes, if you're going to make a donation from now
until the end of the year,please, you can either Venmo us,
send a check through theGreater Manhattan Community
Foundation or through our webpage.
These are the places that youcan make a donation.
Speaker 1 (13:59):

would spell it, a-l-l-i-e-s, andthe word welcome
allieswelcomecom.
Her name is Virginia Rodriguezand you know you've helped a
couple hundred people becomeresidents of the community and
find places for their kids andhelp them adjust to a new world,
(14:22):
and I can imagine that thatwould be difficult, especially
in today's uncertain times interms of what is happening, you
know, from a financialperspective, and you know it
takes a brave soul to do that.
So congratulations and thankyou for doing so.
