What We Do

Refugee Resettlement • Immigration Legal Services • Durable Solutions for Refugees
Miami Cuban-Haitian Program • Detainee Religious Services • Africa Case Processing • Public Policy Advocacy

The Church World Service Immigration and Refugee Program (CWS/IRP) is a network of denominations and local affiliate offices serving the needs of refugees and immigrants. We seek to involve congregations in this life-giving ministry to the uprooted and displaced. As co-sponsors, congregations live out the biblical call to "welcome the stranger" by creating hospitable communities for resettling refugees and providing for their material needs upon their arrival to the U.S.
