Brand Partnership for the Advancement of New Americans (PANA) is dedicated to promoting the full economic, social, and civic inclusion of refugees in the San Diego region, throughout California, and across the country. Led by refugees themselves, PANA utilizes relational organizing to foster community engagement and indigenous leadership development. The organization firmly believes in authentic demand, where communities have decision-making power and influence in shaping the direction of their work.

PANA creates inclusive spaces that honor community investments and support community ownership. Embracing differences and limitations, PANA fosters compassionate leadership and provides meaningful opportunities for everyone to exercise their leadership skills. With a vision of a world where refugees are connected global leaders, PANA fosters trans-continental movement work for meaningful freedom.

Through numerous initiatives such as civic engagement, tenant protections, ending surveillance, and refugee experiences reporting, PANA empowers refugees to become advocates for change. Connect with PANA to get involved, donate, or learn more about their invaluable work
