ETSS is a community-based nonprofit organization in Columbus, Ohio, that assists new arrivals from all countries in establishing roots and achieving self-sufficiency in Central Ohio. The organization operates as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit and supports both adults and children through programs that promote community integration, sustained employment, education, health, and strong families. Its offerings include employment assistance, ESL courses, after-school programs, an eight-week academically and culturally focused summer camp, and internships across Central Ohio for ETSS youth. In addition, ETSS conducts wellness initiatives and advocates for victims of domestic violence and human trafficking, with Community Mental Health Navigators providing case management and referral services for individuals who have experienced trauma, currently serving Nepali/Bhutanese and Congolese communities. In March 2026 ETSS formed a partnership with the New American Community Information Center to provide journalism and media training to youths participating in ETSS programs.
