"Our program's mission is to equip families of different ethnicities and cultures with the equitable resources to succeed upon entering a new community. By providing them with the necessary resources and offering them the same opportunities everyone has a right to, opens up their individual paths to reach their highest potentials and dreams. We believe every person deserves the chance to be able to live a happy, healthy life and our goal is to help guide these underserved families with the resources to do so."

To this end, MIRA offers both in person and virtual English classes throughout various locations in the Lehigh Valley in addition to providing financial literacy, legal support, case management to obtain employment, housing, medical, and other resources to help Migrant, Immigrant, Refugee and Asylee families better integrate into their neighborhoods and communities in the Lehigh Valley. MIRA operates in its entirety on volunteer effort and donations.
