The Agency for New Americans (ANA) is here to help refugees achieve self-sufficiency in their new lives by providing the skills, education, and support necessary during their resettlement period.
Our mission is to improve the educational, social and economic well-being of new Americans and the communities in which they live by creating individual, agency and public/private partnerships.

Providing a message from our parent organization, Jannus:
COMMUNITY STATEMENT OF SUPPORT
We at Jannus join with caring people in our community and across the nation who are outraged and saddened by the deaths of Breonna Taylor, George Floyd, Ahmaud Arbery, and countless others who have lost their lives to systemic racism. We are heartbroken that Black Idahoans who are our colleagues, neighbors and fellow citizens are frequently demeaned, threatened and physically harmed.
Jannus operates with an inherent belief and profound desire that every individual be treated with dignity and respect. For too long, Black people and other people of color have lived in a system that neither serves nor protects. This must change. We all must do our part.
Systemic racism faced by Black people and other people of color that we serve undermines our goals in public health and human services, whether its access to housing, education and dignified employment for our newest neighbors; the availability of safe child care and heathy food for our children; stigma-free access to mental and behavioral healthcare; hotline services; preventing predatory lending; and others.
Jannus is committed to centering race equity and inclusion in our own operations, recognizing this is an ongoing and critical process for accountability to the people and communities we serve and to the people we employ.
We all have a role to play in creating a more equitable community, rich with inclusion for the underserved, respect and support for those who protect and serve, and civility and kindness for everyone.
