The New American Association of Massachusetts is located right here in Lynn. Its mission is to assist newly arriving refugees and immigrants with integration into American society.  Formed in 1991 by former refugees of the Soviet Union,  the organization was determined to help others fleeing religious and political persecution in the former USSR.  Now however, they have a much broader mission serving refugees and immigrants from around the world.  Programs include citizenship classes, English language training, employment help, and youth programs. What a blessing to have this organization here in Lynn!  Check it out at www.naamass.org.
