YRP is an organization of undergraduate students passionately devoted to aiding refugees and other forced migrants. Our Direct Assistance branch supports refugees resettled in Greater New Haven, mostly young adult refugees, through social and educational programming. Here, we work in partnership with, and in support of, our local resettlement agency, Integrated Refugee and Immigrant Services (IRIS) of New Haven. Our advocacy branch is an extension of our commitment to the New Haven refugee community brought into the political sphere. We organize against bans on refugees both on campus and in our city. We host talks with experts in refugee law. We also lead yearly trips to the US-Mexico border for participants to learn about family detention and volunteer with legal aid non-profits helping prepare asylum cases, and we urge public officials to end the detention of families seeking asylum in the United States. Through both direct assistance and advocacy, YRP hopes to redefine Yale’s relationship with refugees and provide an example for how other undergraduates might engage with their own refugee communities and with refugee issues more broadly.
