About SARA
“SARA Organization (Syrian American Refugee Aid) is a 501(c)(3) non-profit in Austin, TX. We were founded in 2015 by Syrian Americans to aid vetted Syrian refugees as they transition into their American lives. We welcome and mentor our new neighbors and provide them a sense of community. We assist with education and career opportunities so they can become contributing members of our society.“
