Creating welcoming communities that thrive together

The Idaho Office for Refugees is the designated organization to oversee refugee resettlement in the state of Idaho, in partnership with resettlement agencies.

Our mission is to
 welcome and support people granted refuge in the United States by providing opportunities for education, civic engagement, economic advancement, and belonging.​

We create connections and offer programs such as Global Talent, Global Gardens, the English Language Center and the Refugee Speakers Bureau that promote well-being for New Americans and surrounding communities.

NATIONAL UPDATE
Learn more about the suspension of the U.S. Refugee Admissions Program and what that means for Idaho and local families.

Share Your Story: One thing we can all do is raise our voice. Please take a moment to share with us why welcoming refugees matters to you and help us uplift messages of love and support.
