Serve New York VISTA 2018-19: RAHAMA

Serve New York mobilizes AmeriCorps VISTA members to serve organizations, government agencies, and educational institutions focused on the needs of veteran and military families, improving and expanding educational opportunities, ensuring economic opportunity for all, and creating healthy futures to the residents of NY. The goal of Serve New York is to strengthen communities across the State, and to allow organizations within them to better provide services to impoverished individuals and families. The Serve New York program has partner organizations in Buffalo, Rochester, Lyons, Ithaca, Geneva, and White Plains. While serving, members receive support from the VISTA team at The Service Collaborative of WNY, Inc. The support includes monthly trainings, a social network of fellow members, and daily support from VISTA leaders.

Member Duties : RAHAMA, was started as a grassroots organization in 2006 by a group of social workers who saw a need to provide services to Muslim, immigrant and refugee women who were experiencing domestic violence. RAHAMA’s mission evolved from providing educational programs on domestic violence to the Muslim as well as the larger community to the goal of opening a transitional housing shelter. The rising cost and shortage of appropriate housing is a real barrier and contributes to increased poverty and homelessness. The VISTA will improve marketing and public relations, develop fundraising activities and increase outreach and awareness within the community. This will provide the agency with increased visibility in the community as well as increase networking and strategic alliances with area agencies that provide the services that would benefit the women we serve
