About Us
We know it’s not easy. We know it’s tough.
We empathize with you. We believe in you.
Act for Cause is a nonprofit organization established in 2019 by a group of passionate South Asians. Our mission is to support immigrants who have taken the bold step of starting a new life abroad. We understand the challenges, uncertainties, and struggles that come with this journey, and we are here to assist and uplift the community.
All of our programs and services are designed by experts and clinicians who have firsthand experience with the immigrant journey. Act for Cause uses evidence-based data and research to provide practical, effective support tailored to the needs of South Asian immigrants.
Our team comprises dedicated adult and youth advocates with immigrant backgrounds. They deeply empathize with the community and understand the courage and resilience it takes to leave behind the familiar and start anew. Act for Cause is committed to walking alongside immigrants, offering support every step of the way as they transition into their new lives.
Whether you have just arrived or have been in the country for some time, we are here to help. Act for Cause provides a wide range of programs, workshops, and events designed to guide and assist you. Our goal is to create a welcoming, supportive environment where individuals can connect, share experiences, and grow together.
