Standing in the Gap
For decades, America has been a resourceful and welcoming place for new immigrants. However, in recent months, this trend has taken a sudden and significant turn. Even with past government support, substantial gaps persisted in meeting immigrants' needs. Nonprofit organizations have played a vital role in filling those gaps. Now, with recent developments, these organizations are called to do more than just provide services—they must also serve as a shield for the community, offering crucial protection and security for new immigrants. Although UBSC is a small NGO, we are dedicated to responding to this call within our capacity. Recently, in addition to our regular tutoring classes, we have organized numerous community seminars to educate and support new immigrants. From 2025 until now, we have held workshops on topics such as Medicare 2025 Update/Renewal, Tax Filing Guide, Trac Accident Handling Guidelines, and Police Community Talk/Trac Rules and Driving Safety. More workshops are planned for the rest of the year, including sessions on Apartment Rental Rights, College Workshops, and the Affordable Care Act (Obamacare). The feedback from seminar participants has been overwhelmingly positive. Your generous support remains crucial as we work to meet these increasing needs.
站 在 破 口 中
數十年來，美國一直是一個資源豐富且歡迎新移民的國家。然而，近幾個月來，這一趨勢出現了明顯而關鍵的轉變。即使過去政府曾提供協助，但在滿足移民需求方面仍存在重大落差。非營利組織在填補這些服務缺口方面，一直扮演著至關重要的角色。隨著近期情勢的變化，這些組織如今不僅要填補服務上的不足，更必須站在社區 「保護牆」的缺口中，為新移民提供關鍵的保護與安全。儘管志上學習中心是一家規模不大的非營利機構，但我們仍致力於在能力範圍內回應這個時代的呼召。近幾個月來，除了既有的課後輔導班外，我們也舉辦了多場社區講座，為新移民提供教育與支援。從2025年初至今，我們已辦理的講座主題包括:「2025聯邦醫療保險更新/續約」、「報稅指南」、「車禍處理指南」，以及「警官交流講座—交通規則與行車安全」。接下来的時間裡，我們還將陸續舉辦更多講座，包括「租屋權益說明會」、「大學申請講座」以及「平價醫療法(Obamacare)」等主題。這些講座廣受參加者好評，回響熱烈。充分體现了这些服務的必要性與價值。面對不斷增長的社區需求，我們深知您的慷慨支持至關重要。
