RefugeeConnect

Cincinnati's story has always been shaped by people who came here to build a better future.

Every Cincinnatian brings something valuable to our neighborhoods, workplaces, and communities, and together, those stories make our region stronger.

We're excited to finally share Neighbor to Neighbor with the world, a collaborative campaign celebrating the people, stories, and contributions of immigrants and refugees in Greater Cincinnati.

Together, we're building bridges for our immigrant and refugee neighbors, and strengthening bonds in our community.

What an incredible way to close out a chapter.

Our World Refugee Day celebration on June 13th was the perfect way to close out our fiscal year—surrounded by community, joy, and resilience.

Today, July 1st, marks the first day of our new fiscal year. As we look back on the incredible resilience, culture, and connection shared last month, we are stepping into this new year feeling deeply inspired and energized for the work ahead. Thank you for standing with us every step of the way. ❤️

Only 2 days and 3 certificates away!

We are SO close to hitting our $750 goal for RefugeeConnect. With 40 learners signed up and 22 already done, we just need 3 MORE LEARNERS to finish their modules by June 30th to unlock that $750.

BUT WHY STOP THERE? If we can get 10 more learners across the finish line instead of just 3, we can ascend past our goal and aim for $1,000 to support even more families in our community.

A great big thank you to everyone who has participated in this challenge so far!

Care BEYOND arrival indeed.

We’ve officially surpassed our initial goal of $5,000 thanks to this incredible community and the social work students at NKU. but the need doesn't stop there. These funds provide a lifeline for families navigating new health and legal systems in our city.

We still have a few hours left in the campaign and every dollar raised goes directly toward health navigation services that help refugee families navigate complex systems and find stability.

Let’s see how much impact we can make in these final hours! Project ends on April 24, at 11:59 PM EDT
