Most importantly, the Refugee counselors inform the immigrant and refugee populations of their rights as future American citizens. The Refugee counselors act as a liaison between the immigrant/refugee population and federal agencies/contractors. The Civil Rights Act of 1964, otherwise known as Title VI, is a federal law that protects all individuals from discrimination based on race, color, or national origin in programs that receive Federal assistance. This law prohibits contractors and/or state agencies from denying services and/or access to services, or using discriminatory and segregate treatment for all Limited English Proficiency (LEP) persons.
