About Refugees

“There are refugees in Spokane?” | ”What is a refugee?” | ”What problems do refugees face?” | ”Where do refugees come from?” - These are questions that we at Global Neighborhood hear all the time. They are good questions. Most people don’t even know that refugees live in our city, and those who do realize this usually don’t know much about where refugees come from or how they get here.

One our goals is to educate Americans about the refugees living in our midst. They are people of amazing courage and perseverance who bring a wealth of diversity and culture to our city. We exist as an organization not only to help them, but also to learn from them, and we want to extend these same opportunities to you.

Volunteer

Volunteers are the means by which refugees in Spokane most readily receive time, care, and services from Global Neighborhood. Each refugee family is paired with one or two volunteers (although small groups of friends or family are welcome, too!). Both the volunteer and refugee family commit to spending time with each other, building relationships that are both mutual and supportive of the refugee’s transition into American culture.
