We exist to help you help refugees transcend their circumstances—from refugees experiencing
forced displacement overseas, to resettled refugees rebuilding their lives in Chicagoland.
Advocate for Refugees
Update on Refugee Resettlement: Refugee resettlement in the U.S. is suspended, with one exception for Afrikaners from South Africa. • Processing of green card applications for previously resettled refugees is paused indefinitely. • The U.S. government is asserting authority to reinterview refugees without green cards. (6/2/2026)
Join us in advocating for the full resumption of the U.S. Refugee Admissions Program and vetting for all refugees in need of safety and resettlement. Learn more about policy changes affecting refugees and how you can make your voice heard. Subscribe now to the Exodus Advocacy Network.

Invest in the life of a refugee youth in Kakuma Refugee Camp in Kenya. These young people are growing up far from their home countries, unable to return due to ongoing violent conflict. They face many struggles, deep uncertainty, and feelings of being forgotten. But there’s hope!
