Refugee Services

Welcome to the Colorado Refugee Services Program 
  

“The hard-earned wisdom, diverse experiences, and unceasing courage of refugees enrich our Nation and strengthen our unique narrative that America stands as a beacon of hope and opens our doors to those in need.  Today, we celebrate the triumph of the human spirit exemplified by these displaced individuals, and acknowledge the compassion of those who welcome them into their homes and communities.”

For over 30 years the people of Colorado have welcomed refugees into their communities; offering sanctuary, protection and opportunities for our new neighbors to use their talents and skills to contribute to our shared wellbeing.

We are grateful for the participation and collaboration of our community partners in this critical endeavor.  We have designed this website to serve as a resource for you.  Please let us know if there is additional information that you would find helpful.
