We like house parties, barbecues, potluck dinners, and any other gathering that brings neighbors together to learn more about each other and what RefugeeConnect is doing to link communities together.
RefugeeConnect is only greater than the sum of its parts through our extensive partnerships with local businesses and nonprofit, faith-based, and civic organizations. We offer both basic and advanced training on welcoming refugees, engaging volunteer opportunities, long-term mentorship programs, and many other avenues for community involvement.
