Refugee Community Partnership

Collective care program: this suite of work uses deep reciprocal relationships to facilitate access to resources and services. Initiatives include the hive, where information is translated and disseminated into 6+ languages; bridge builders, where volunteers support member families in meeting personal goals; neighborhood support circles and summer camp, where youth are provided academic enrichment and social-emotional tools; women's group, using art-based therapy to provide social and emotional support for women; and Community conversations, gatherings between Refugee and migrant residents and local institutions to facilitate reciprocal learning.

Direct financial assistance program: rcp strives to support local Refugee families in establishing and maintaining "home" through accessing resources and services. To accomplish this mission in part, rcp operates a direct financial assistance program (dfap) through which rcp members can apply to receive a grant for essential needs.

Language justice program: this suite of programming improves language access in institutional settings by training migrant and Refugee Community members as professional language workers, supplying local service providers with quality language services, and providing one-on-one language accompaniment to rcp members as they navigate complex systems and institutions. We provide institutional advocacy to reveal language discrimination, make system-level reforms, and build a long term economy for sustainable language work. Initiatives include language navigators, interpreter bank, language justice consulting, and the doula initiative.
