Refugee Connections Spokane

Refugee Connections Spokane (RCS) is a non-profit organization that promotes refugee resettlement success and long term health and wellness through community collaborative projects and activities. It is governed by a Board of Directors comprised of dedicated health, education and legal professionals. RCS is currently developing a Refugee Advisory Council for further expertise and guidance.  

Our humanitarian objective is to empower refugees to be fully engaged and contributing members of our Spokane community.  Refugee community volunteers, as well as, university student interns, generously contribute their time and skills to carry out the projects which support the organizations’ mission and objectives. 

Refugee Connections Spokane provides a link for refugees with the large Spokane community through participatory projects, activities and events.  Our organization seeks to empower and strengthen participants through community-based, culturally-appropriate and trauma-sensitive project development. Participating refugee community members gain an appreciation for the value of their unique strengths and experiences in guiding the development of projects which address their concerns.
