What they do
ALL PEOPLE SHOULD HAVE THE RIGHT to WORK, BUILD A COMMUNITY and DETERMINE THEIR OWN FUTURE WITH A SENSE of DIGNITY. THE DISPLACEMENT of THOUSANDS of CENTRAL AMERICANS INTO NORTH AMERICA AS A RESULT of WAR and CIVIL STRIFE IN THEIR HOMELANDS CREATED THE NEED for AN AGENCY to SAFEGUARD THE BASIC RIGHTS of THOSE SEEKING SAFE HAVEN IN OUR MIDST. THE CENTRAL AMERICAN REFUGEE CENTER - CARECEN (NY) PROMOTES SOCIAL JUSTICE and LEGAL RIGHTS for CENTRAL AMERICANS and ALL IMMIGRANTS, PARTICULARLY THOSE of LOW and MODERATE INCOME, THROUGH LEGAL REPRESENTATION, ADVOCACY, OUTREACH, EDUCATION, and COMMUNITY ORGANIZING. SINCE 1983, CARECEN HAS CONTINUED to FIGHT AGAINST EXPLOITATION and DISCRIMINATORY TREATMENT of CENTRAL AMERICAN REFUGEES and ALL IMMIGRANTS UNDER THE LAWS of THE UNITED STATES.

Money made simple
Ask these three easy questions
- Who did you help? Ask for a recent story or report that shows real results.
- What will my money do? Ask exactly what your gift will pay for.
- Is this really the charity? Give only through its official website or confirmed phone number.
Worth asking: Expenses exceeded revenue this year. Ask whether that was planned or caused by a one-time event.
Bottom line: Do not decide from a name, mission statement, or tax status alone. Look at where the money went, then ask what changed, who was helped, and what your gift will do. YouCanGiveBack does not endorse or grade organizations.
