Monarch Immigrant Services

We are not taking credit for the St. Louis Cardinals' unexpected success this season, but we're not not taking credit for it. Director of Social Services Shimaa and superfan Pepper have been doing their part.

Moving our Monarch Moment spotlight over to the STAR Program Coordinator and resident Puzzle Master, Diana Gutierrez! 😎
Like many, Diana loves Selena Quintanilla, , and napping! 🥰

June is World Refugee Awareness Month 🌎
As an organization founded by refugee women, our commitment to serving St. Louis’s vibrant refugee communities remains as strong as ever 🤝

Our amazing case manager Freshta made lunch for our staff to send off one of our team members!
A true labor of love! 💗 We are so thankful for a staff who enjoys sharing their culture, spending time together, and celebrating one another! 🇦🇫🤩 plus a little mantu break makes for a gooooood day in the office

June is National Immigrant Heritage Month! 🌎✨
This is a time to celebrate your own heritage, cultures, and history, as well as a time to step up for the immigrants in your community!

We are honored to be a part of the story for so many immigrants in St. Louis. 🦋

This is Paul Witte! He is a therapist and clinical supervisor here at Monarch! ✨🧡 He’s a bit of a jack of all trades, master of…lots! 🤩 He works with kids, teens, adults, supervises practicum students, and counselors pursuing licensure, AND he plays in a band. 🎸

We're proud to celebrate one of our incredible team members, Rorke Chhouk, for participating in a panel discussion during AAPI Heritage month 🦋

Thank you to Children's Service Fund for hosting the discussion and creating space for these impactful conversations.

Eid Mubarak everyone 🤍🌙

We hope your day is filled with family and laughter. May this Eid bring peace and blessings to you and your loved ones ✨

St. Louis is what it is today because of the Asian American and Pacific Islander cultures, stories, and communities here for 100+ years, 10 years, and those who are brand new to the region! 🦋

This month, we are grateful for and happy to celebrate the clients, staff, and families of AAPI backgrounds whose resilience, leadership, languages, traditions, and experiences enrich our organization every day.

Happy AAPI Heritage Month 🌏

People often ask us, why are you called Monarch? And there never really is one singular reason!
Of course, there’s that monarch butterflies are migratory creatures! 🌎💫
But it’s even more than that- it’s transformation, resilience, community, and opportunity.

Everyday we get to work with the most vibrant folks St. Louis has to offer. We are honored to be a part of their lives and their process. 🦋🧡
