Olga's List

We help Ukrainian refugees in Massachusetts transition to their new lives from their earliest days until they are resettled and integrated

Olga’s List was established in February 2023 as a grass-roots volunteer team of former and recent refugees who mobilized over the influx of Ukrainian refugees coming to Massachusetts with urgent needs. The founder, Olga Yulikova, arrived in the US as a refugee in 1989 from Moscow, USSR. The entire volunteer staff are also former refugees. The Board of Directors consists of 3 former refugees and the Advisory Board consists of 3 single mothers and current Ukrainian refugees. Every person on our direct support team speaks Ukrainian, Russian, and English.

We serve 779 clients (320 families) across the state. We provide all basic resettlement services, community building, mental health support, art therapy. We serve primarily women with young children.
