Today on World Refugee Day celebrated on June 20th, we share and reaffirm our commitment to helping refugees and immigrants. We acknowledge all too well, the overwhelming adversity faced by an approximated 80 million refugees and displaced people around the world.

At RISE, it is our enduring belief that these vulnerable individuals should be protected, embraced, and empowered in a world of just and welcoming communities. 

Our programs will continue to meet the needs of refugees whilst celebrating the incredible resilience and contributions of refugees in America and elsewhere whilst we do remember the many millions more refugees around the world who are seeking assistance and protection.
