Mission Statement

Welcome to Project Transition

A Bridge to Success for Refugee Families!!!

Project Transition provides support and programs that help educate, encourage, and counsel refugees in Palm Beach County. Our personalized assistance helps refugees acquire critical English skills and training that can assist in gaining employment and help in job advancement.

One area we have found particular success in is the placement of trained professionals to assist in high need areas such as schools, hospitals and other health care facilities.

Through training we have helped many medical professionals, forced to work in areas such as housekeeping and maintenance, transition back into the health care field.

One of our Haitian doctors interning at a hospital expressed the feeling of many when she said, “I feel alive again to be around people who are doing what I was doing in medicine in my country.”
