Refugees Build New Lives Through Jobs | Chicago News

Chicago nonprofit Agents of Hope is transforming refugee lives by turning aid into opportunity—offering career training, mental health support, education, and even business incubation to help newcomers thrive. Since launching in 2010, they’ve guided refugees like Nedal Hsson from Syria into stable jobs and now mentoring others, proving that self-sufficiency is possible. Their Refugee Exit Plan starts before arrival, equipping refugees with skills, language, housing, and legal support to transition from welfare to work—and yes, contribute to the economy. With global recognition and local Chicago backing, they’re raising funds for their mission at a gala next Friday, August 21st.
