THE MISSION & MODEL

Beyond90 has a special niche and meets a critical need.  Newly arriving refugees are placed in low cost housing and only provided enough funds for furnishings and rent for the first 90 days.  A number of these refugees have lived in camps an average of seventeen years and some may suffer from disabilities due to the circumstances that caused them to flee their homes. At the end of this 90 day period, many refugees are not fully self-sufficient, which adds to the already overwhelming amount of stress that accompanies learning a new language, working, and adapting to a new country and a new culture.

Beyond90 bridges the gap to self-sufficiency by equipping and empowering refugees with the support, skills, tools, and individualized coaching they need to build stable and flourishing lives in Northeast Florida.

To assist refugees in building new lives and becoming fully self-sufficient as they integrate into American society. In partnership with other nonprofits and organizations in our community, we work to strengthen and empower individuals and families so they can become:

​

• Healthy — Able to navigate the healthcare system, advocate for themselves, and access the care they need. Through Project for Healing, Beyond90 also provides culturally responsive mental health counseling, care coordination, workshops, wellness activities, specialized referrals, and services that help reduce barriers to care.

​

• Equipped — Building the practical knowledge, skills, and confidence needed to navigate everyday life and pursue greater independence. Beyond90 provides skills-building classes and learning opportunities that may include computer skills, financial education, driver permit preparation, citizenship preparation, sewing, and more.

​

• Stable — Having the resources and support needed to overcome challenges and meet essential needs. Beyond90 helps refugees navigate food assistance, public benefits, healthcare, employment needs, paperwork, transportation challenges, life crises, and connections to community resources.

​

• Flourishing — Moving beyond day-to-day stability toward greater opportunity and long-term self-sufficiency. Through Level Up for Success, participants receive individualized coaching, goal setting, and access to resources that help them build on their strengths, overcome barriers, and make progress toward financial stability, career growth, education, stronger community connections, and overall well-being.
