📚✨ MORE students are showing up, learning, and growing. And our impact is growing too.

This past year, our student contact hours increased by 48%! 💛

That means more immigrants and refugees are building English skills, gaining confidence, and preparing for new opportunities through our free English and work-readiness classes.

Every class helps open doors to connection, independence, and opportunity.

🎨 Bid on one-of-a-kind art and cultural experiences at Run for Refugees on June 6!

Featured auction items include:
✨ Minnesota State flag glass suncatchers handcrafted by artist George Hunt
✨ Family membership to The Museum of Russian Art
✨ Museum passes to American Swedish Institute

Your support helps MORE continue serving immigrants and refugees through education, resources, and community programs. 💙

When Operation Metro Surge came to Minnesota, our community needed basic needs support more than ever. During this time, MORE provided food support to 9 local schools in Saint Paul, North St. Paul/Maplewood, and Minneapolis Districts.

Supporting the needs of our community is at the core of who we are.

Thank you to those who gave to MORE so we could be there when Twin Cities families and residents needed it most. 💙

We are deeply grateful for their continued partnership and belief in the work we do every day to help new Americans thrive. 💙

A beautiful day for a field trip to the Twins game... And we won! ⚾ Great to have our students experience live sports!
