Every Campus A Refuge

Every Campus A Refuge Mobilizing colleges and universities to host refugees and support them in their resettlement. Other colleges and universities have joined the movement.

Millions of refugees are escaping violence in search of a safe haven. Inspired by the Pope's call on every parish to host one refugee family, Guilford College founded Every Campus A Refuge movement, an initiative which calls on every college and university campus around the world to host one refugee family on their campus grounds and to assist them in resettlement. Guilford College is marshaling i

ts campus resources to do just that. We have hosted 66 refugees thus far and about to host an 18 Afghan evacuees! Will your campus, be the next refuge? Join the movement! Amazon Wishlist: http://a.co/0w9mXTI

The Gathering is coming back — and if last year’s feedback is any indication, you won’t want to miss it. 💙 “It was realistic and didn’t shy away from the uglier truths… while providing actionable steps.” That’s the kind of space we’re building again this year.

MEET OUR COMMUNICATIONS INTERN: Meredith Corwin

About Her: She is a junior History student at Clemson University who is passionate about advocacy and policy. Within her ECAR Chapter, she co-authored an oral history cookbook and serves as treasurer and project lead manager. She hopes to attend law school in the future.

Why She Loves ECAR: ECAR is an incredible way to make a tangible change within our communities, especially during a time when various narratives try to push a cynical outlook that nothing can be done. This is a wonderful organization that directly counters that nihilistic falsehood and is evidence of good in the world.

At the 2026 Every Campus A Refuge Gathering, communities from across the country came together to share stories, build connections, and imagine new ways forward. As one Gathering participant reflected, “our path of resistance must be rooted and sustained in local community.”

We’re grateful for the conversations, relationships, and renewed hope that remind us: creating refuge starts right where we are. 🏠✨

Last week, the National Young Adult Leadership Council convened in Washington, DC. 36 Council Members put into practice the skills they learned and developed over the year, including celebrating their community project to peers and program partners. Collectively, they reached hundreds of newcomer community members in 20 states with initiatives focused on accessing education, building community, learning English, and becoming self-sufficient. Thank you to all the NRLLEC partners (RCUSA, Every Campus a Refuge, USAHello, and CWS), to the mentors, and deepest thanks to the NRLLEC program staff for all the work they put into the program and convening.
