Clarkston, Georgia, known as "The Ellis Island of the South," has become a major resettlement hub for refugees from around the world. This small city, with a population of around 13,000, hosts a vibrant and diverse refugee community, including people from countries like Somalia, Syria, and Myanmar. Despite the city’s welcoming reputation, many refugees face significant challenges in accessing essential services and integrating into American society. Efforts by local organizations and cross-cultural workers are focused on providing support through education, employment opportunities, and community-building activities, aiming to foster integration and offer hope in the midst of a complex resettlement experience.
