Refugee Family Services, which was formerly known as Newcomers' Network, is an outgrowth of the Save the Children/Child Care Support Center (STC/CCSC), Atlanta. It was started in 1986 as a program that provided childcare training to refugee women in the metro Atlanta area. Later, it grew into the Refugee Program of STC/CCSC, at which time it added to a wide variety of programs. It was incorporated in 1996 under the name Newcomers' Network to operate the refugee program as a stand-alone entity and became a fully independent 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization on October 1, 1997. The organization was renamed Refugee Family Services in April 2002 to better reflect its mission.
