A
large group of clients have benefited from the Vocational Business
Academy. Recent graduates are excited to have received diplomas at
Opening Doors Graduation Ceremony in January.
Through
our efforts with the Sacramento Rescue and Restore Coalition, Opening
Doors, Inc. is working to bring light to the issue of human trafficking in the
Sacramento community and neighboring counties.
In December Opening Doors, Inc. welcomed many new refugee arrivals and
in February ODI expects to welcome
many more refugees from the countries of Iraq and Afghanistan.
Opening Doors, Inc. is continuously looking for dedicated volunteers
wanting to assist in any way from organizing
welcome kits to
tutoring English as a Second
