More than 100,000 refugees have made Minnesota their home over the past 40 years. Honor their journey by being a part of Twin Cities World Refugee Day! Whether by welcoming guests, assisting participants or engaging with children at the activities tent, you can join this growing celebration and help all participants feel at home.
We are looking for people who are friendly, energetic and good team players. We welcome people from all backgrounds and levels of knowledge about refugee issues and cultures, as long as you have a desire to learn more and work with a diverse group of people. Volunteers from refugee communities are especially encouraged to participate.
Join the Team
Twin Cities World Refugee Day is a celebration designed by and for the community. The event planning team takes advice, insight, and ideas from a diverse planning committee, who are either from the refugee community or work closely with them. As the committee is providing advice, we encourage the community to join the team at any time!
Please email us if you are interested in helping inform and grow this impactful event.
Become a Sponsor
As this event grows and reaches more Minnesotans, we rely on the generosity and dedication of funders to support World Refugee Day. Your partnership can help us reach out to greater Minnesota to invite more community members to this once a year event and support more of the flourishing refugee artist community in the Twin Cities.
We need your help to advocate for all Minnesotans and celebrate the rich community we are all apart of and which makes Minnesota a welcoming and good place for all to live.
We are anticipating this year to have the largest attendance yet and could not do this event without your support and participation.
