What is World Refugee Day?
World Refugee Day is an international day designated by the United Nations to honor the courage and resilience of people who have been forced to leave their home country to escape conflict and persecution. World Refugee Day is an opportunity to celebrate the unique stories of refugees, asylum-seekers, and immigrants and all that they contribute to our communities. During the month of June, we encourage you to join us in solidarity with them.
