We are dedicated to connecting refugees (people forced to flee their country to escape persecution, war, or natural disaster) with resources to rebuild their lives as United States citizens.

Who is a refugee?
Any person forcibly displaced as a result of persecution, conflict, violence, human rights violations and events seriously disturbing public order.

RefugeeConnect helps refugees and asylees navigate often unfamiliar systems, new cultural norms, and language barriers. RefugeeConnect promotes coordinated services so that this specific population of new Americans, who may be unaware of the patchwork of crucial resources already in place, reach their full potential as individuals, families, and civic and community leaders. Hear what our navigators have to say.
"I think the gap we help fill is that navigators understand how different systems work and because we are all immigrants and refugees, we understand the culture of the families we work with and the experience those families have acclimating here. We teach refugees about navigating systems and we have their trust because we had to build for ourselves, and now we can share our knowledge with our community"

"It is an honor to be part of a group of individuals (mostly women) who have shown the resilience to thrive in a new country, speak multiple languages, and have the compassion to offer all their achievements back to their communities."
