Refugee Resettlement
Colorado Refugee Connect www.facebook.com/corefugeeconnect (CRC) is a collaborative endeavor led by the area Resettlement Agencies – Lutheran Family Services, International Rescue Committee, and African Community Center - alongside the Colorado Refugee Services Program. Our mission is to create a flourishing Colorado by connecting refugee & welcoming communities through opportunities to learn, engage, and celebrate.
Thank you for your interest in supporting families fleeing Afghanistan. The situation is changing every day and there is close coordination between federal, state, and local entities to work collaboratively to support new Afghan families as they arrive. Colorado’s three resettlement agencies are the best initial points of contact for newcomers. They are working overtime right now to support Afghans and prepare for future arrivals. The following opportunities to donate (money and items) and volunteer are the best ways you can help right now. Please note that each agency has volunteer orientation and onboarding requirements to complete before beginning as a volunteer. Agencies are not able to return all phone calls currently, so please follow all online processes to sign up for and attend volunteer orientation.
Please follow Colorado Refugee Connect on Facebook to learn more about this evolving situation.
Thank you for your desire to welcome and support Afghans as they make Colorado their new home!
