Meet Flor, USCRI El Salvador's Program Coordinator, who has dedicated over a decade to helping young people returning to El Salvador build brighter futures.

Through USCRI’s REDII program, she helps returnees discover new opportunities, develop valuable skills, and secure employment in their communities. For Flor, the most meaningful part of her work is witnessing the growth and accomplishments of the people she serves as they rebuild their lives.

For over a decade, USCRI’s REDII program has helped more than 1,200 young returnees rebuild their lives after deportation through vocational training, job placement, and entrepreneurship opportunities.

By providing the tools and resources needed to pursue new opportunities, REDII empowers young returnees to build stable, independent futures in their communities. Your generosity helps make this work possible.

Meet Yulián!
In 2020, Yulián fled violence in Colombia, seeking safety and new opportunities in Mexico. Through USCRI’s Habesha Project, he was able to attend Universidad Cuauhtémoc in Aguascalientes, where he studied design and content production.

After years of hard work and determination, Yulián earned his degree!

From crisis to stability. From arrival to belonging. From childhood to adulthood. From uncertainty to opportunity. USCRI is there.

For years, USCRI has championed the right to education for refugees and immigrants around the world.

From examining barriers to education for asylum seekers in Mexico and refugee children in Kenya, our work continues to highlight the challenges displaced communities face in accessing education, especially as international support declines.

Education is a human right, and every child deserves the opportunity to learn.

Yesterday, I joined a panel with Rev. David Hollenbach and Professor Katherine Marshall, where we discussed with graduate students the need to welcome refugees. Thank you to Georgetown University’s Global Human Development Program for hosting this important conversation.

Today, we honor the life and legacy of Dolores Huerta, a trailblazing civil rights leader who dedicated more than six decades to fighting for the rights of immigrants, workers, women, and underserved communities.

At USCRI, we celebrate her extraordinary legacy and remain committed to advancing the dignity and rights of the communities we serve.

[U.S. Committee for Refugees and Immigrants (USCRI) @USCRIdc]

As a new chapter of leadership begins at the World Food Programme, we are reminded of its life-saving work and the millions of displaced people who depend on this critical assistance.

At USCRI, we urge the international community to remain committed to ending man-made starvation and ensuring that vulnerable populations have access to the food and resources they need to survive.

[U.S. Committee for Refugees and Immigrants (USCRI) @USCRIdc]

This National Immigrants Day, we're celebrating the millions of individuals who have enriched communities and dedicated their talents, time, and energy to making this country a better place.

Immigrants are our neighbors, teachers, business owners, artists, and leaders. Their contributions are woven into the fabric of our communities, enriching our culture and creating opportunities for generations to come.

Today and every day, let's celebrate the people whose stories, resilience, and contributions help make this country what it is.

[U.S. Committee for Refugees and Immigrants (USCRI) @USCRIdc]

Every girl deserves access to education.

Today, hear from one of the students in Kakuma Refugee camp, as she shares her experience in the camp, and the impact that Keep Girls Dreaming has had on her future.

“No refugee situation should become permanent simply because the world has grown accustomed to it.”

These powerful words, shared last week by Barham Salih, UN High Commissioner for Refugees, remind us of the importance of challenging refugee warehousing and the need for global action to break down barriers so that refugees can find lasting solutions.

Every person deserves access to education, employment, freedom of movement, and economic opportunities. At USCRI, these principles guide our continued commitment to advocating for the rights, dignity, and opportunities of displaced people around the world.

Immigration law is constantly changing. The Legal Landscape helps you stay informed.

This month, we examine recent legal developments affecting refugee populations, Temporary Protected Status (TPS), and asylum seekers in the Netherlands.

Stay up to date on the legal and policy issues impacting immigrants and displaced communities.

Temporary Protected Status is stuck in limbo.

TPS offers critical protections to eligible individuals whose home countries are experiencing conflict, disasters, or other unsafe conditions.

In January 2025, 17 countries had TPS designations. Today, just four remain.
Protections for Sudan and Ukraine were scheduled to expire today, October 19. Yet, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has announced no decision, leaving thousands of people without clarity about what comes next.

Everyone deserves security and stability when returning home is not safe.

Every girl deserves the chance to follow her dreams. Education helps make that possible.💙

Make a gift today and help more girls access the education they deserve.

Ebola is spreading in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, putting already vulnerable displaced women and girls at even greater risk.

Ituri Province, along the DRC's eastern border with Uganda, is at the center of the crisis. Home to millions of displaced people, the region faces overcrowded living conditions, limited access to healthcare, and ongoing conflict-related violence, leaving women and girls especially vulnerable.

The international community cannot look away. Stay informed at https://t.co/O4VNmEMLu2

USCRI is proud to partner with ARAHA to address acute food shortages in Kakuma Refugee Camp in Kenya.

For unaccompanied refugee girls, access to nutritious food is essential to their health, safety, and ability to thrive. Through this partnership, we're supporting the foster families who provide these girls with care, stability, and a place to call home.
