Our Mission:
Kalamazoo Refugee Resource Collaborative creates partnerships to transform the experience of refugees, migrants, and immigrants from a life of uncertainty to a life of freedom, equity, and security.
Our Vision:
Kalamazoo is a community rich in resources where all people are empowered to be self-determining and to thrive in American Society.
KRRC achieves this by:
-
Unifying and streamlining the capacity, voice, and effectiveness of member organizations and community members around a mutually agreed upon agenda of protection, care, and welcome.
-
Advocating in the Kalamazoo area for the access to resources, protection, and rights for refugees and other immigrant populations who are forcibly displaced and at risk.
-
Building excellence and durability in Kalamazoo refugee resettlement and integration processes, solutions, and services through alliances with member agencies.
