Our Impact

Day of Dignity is an event hosted by the Chicago Refugee Coalition in partnership with IRUSA. The event is dedicated to supporting refugees and new arrivals by providing essential resources, support, and a sense of community to those in need. Community organizations and volunteers will provide essential supplies, medical and wellness services, employment, education, and community support. The Chicago Student Refugee Coalition was put in charge of the family/student portion of the event. The CSRC will give out donations, and set up games to play with kids, along with creating an entertaining and safe place for the whole family. 

The CSRC is proud to announce the launching of our first-ever international exhibition! The Voice Beyond Borders Exhibition, in partnership with International Youth Diplomats Korea, was an event aimed at empowering the identities and passions of refugee youth all over the world. The exhibition featured elements such as an expert panel of inspiring community leaders with experience regarding newcomers in Chicago, a live interview with the leaders of the International Youth Diplomats Korea organization, discussing refugees and migration from an international angle, and opportunities to raise funds for Rohingya refugees in Bangladesh.
