Who We Are
Early in 2017, a group of 30-40 people from various Ipswich groups and civic organizations gathered together to seek thoughtful ways to respond to the international refugee crisis by welcoming a refugee family to our community.
Today, we are a tax exempt, non-profit organization actively helping several newly arrived immigrant/refugee families get settled in Ipswich. Fleeing crises in their homelands, these families have come to the U.S. with few possessions or resources.
Ipswich Refugee Program works in partnership with refugee resettlement agencies. We welcome immigrant/refugee families into our community and support their efforts to establish independence and self-sufficiency in a new country and culture.
Our Mission
The Ipswich Refugee Program is a community-based organization that welcomes and supports refugees and immigrants as they integrate into American culture and society.
Our work includes providing support and advocacy for refugee and immigrant families, with specific focus on families who make Ipswich their home. Through our activities, we strive to educate the community and bring awareness of the needs of refugees and immigrants in Ipswich and worldwide.
