Organization Name: Bhutanese Association of Michigan (BAM)
Organization Overview: Welcome to the Bhutanese Association of Michigan. We are a community organization committed to supporting the needs of our young and growing community in the state of Michigan.
The Bhutanese Association of Michigan was created to form an independent, viable and innovative organization to address the immediate needs of the Bhutanese communities in the state. We are committed to addressing and serving the needs of the community members. These include adult literacy and citizenship classes, cultural events and legal and mental health support for the community. Much of our work has been on a one-on-one basis, such as translation and assistance in filling out paperwork. Currently we are looking for a space that will allow us to better address the needs of the community, such as ESL and citizenship classes, and a gathering space for group events.

Organization Name: University of Michigan, Medical School, Asylum Collaborative
Organization Overview: The University of Michigan (U of M) Asylum Collaborative was founded in 2013 by student members of the University of Michigan Medical School chapter of Physicians for Human Rights (PHR). In partnership with the University of Michigan Law School, PHR, and community organizations such as Freedom House Detroit, the mission of this student-led initiative is to advocate for victims and survivors of human rights violations and serve as a voice for those who have limited access to such resources.
Our current focus is to facilitate inter-professional collaboration between pro-bono legal and medical providers to conduct forensic evaluations and medical affidavits for asylum, human trafficking, and other legal cases in which survivors of human rights abuses are seeking legal protection such as asylum status.
