About us
The Idaho Office for Refugees supports our nation’s founding belief of offering refuge and safety to people forced to leave their homes due to persecution of their religious beliefs, political opinions, or ethnic heritage. We create opportunities for refugees and the larger community to come together over their shared values of hard work, family, faith, and freedom, through English Language education, cultural events, and programs like Global Gardens and the Refugee Speakers Bureau.
