Helping You Feel at Home in a New Place

Moving to a new country – or even a new part of the U.S. – can be exciting…but also challenging. The Relocation Readiness Program offers Language and Cultural Support to help Soldiers, Families, and DoW Civilians adjust to their new surroundings.

If English is not your first language, we can help with:

  • English as a Second Language (ESL) classes
  • Help understanding community norms and customs
  • Referrals to translation or interpretation services
  • Support with daily tasks like shopping, transportation, or appointments

We also offer welcome sessions for spouses who are new to Army life or American culture. These sessions can help you feel more confident, make friends, and learn how to get involved in your community.

The purpose of the Multicultural Readiness Program (MRP) is to provide Active Duty, Reserve, and National Guard Soldiers and their families access to international services regardless of language and/or cultural differences. We strive to minimize cultural and language barriers while enhancing the quality of life by providing skills development and coping mechanisms to assist with minimizing the challenges language and cultural barriers can bring. We provide the opportunity for foreign born Soldiers and their family members to interact with others who are from their native countries as well as learn the culture of their new home. Visit the Installation web site for more information about our community.

For immigration questions and assistance, please call for an appointment.

How we can help

Sit down with an MRP representative and ask how we can assist you in making the United States your home. Do you need to enroll in English as a Second Language? Do you need to obtain your driver’s license? Are you worried that you may lose your VISA? Do you have any immediate immigration or citizenship questions? Do you need a document translated? Do you want to meet other people who share your language or home country? Let us know how we can make living on our installation and in the Fayetteville community a better experience for you!
