What we are and are not

Being clear about our role

Berea is not an immigration consultancy, legal service, employment agency, recruitment firm, government organization or political party, and we do not provide funding. We do not promise jobs, government employment, immigration outcomes, funding, mentorship matches, professional licensing or business financing.

Everyone who works directly with students agrees to our code of conduct and completes a screening step before any match is made. Read our safeguarding commitments.
