Mission

RefugeeConnect's mission is to connect people forced to flee their country to escape persecution or war with resources to rebuild their lives as United States citizens.

  • Health Navigator: Health Navigators, as Community Health Workers (CHWs), support refugee families by addressing social determinants of health. Additionally, Health Navigators provide culturally responsive, trauma-informed training and consultation to healthcare providers, ensuring comprehensive and compassionate care. RefugeeConnect Health Navigators are certified as CHWs by the Ohio Board of Nursing. In their first year, Health Navigators connected 100 individuals to health insurance, primary care and specialized health care, and supportive resources to address other social determinants of health.

  • Refugee School Impact RSI: This program assists newly arrived school age refugee children in Ohio to improve their academic performance and social adjustment in school.

    Expenses $117,557

  • Community Navigator: This program utilizes our staff navigators to create connections with families, interview families to assess, and assist with their needs. Based on a family's identified needs, staff and volunteers research resources a family can access and connect them to services, which also includes academic and e-learning supports for children enrolled in school.

    Expenses $107,972

  • The College & Career Readiness program focuses on supporting students and families as they navigate their complex postsecondary opportunities.

On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those.
