Exodus Refugee Immigration
Exodus Refugee Immigration is an independent, non-sectarian 501c3 not for profit agency based in Indianapolis. Exodus is part of a network of affiliates that work with Church World Service Immigration and Refugee Program (CWS/IRP) in the resettlement of refugees from all over the world representing many faiths, cultures and languages. Once a refugee case is assigned to CWS, Exodus works in partnership with individuals and community and faith based groups to welcome and assist the refugee individuals and families to become self-sufficient and integrate into their new neighborhoods and community. Refugees come to our country with only what they can carry. Therefore, prior to arrival Exodus staff and volunteers coordinate the necessary resources to welcome families when they arrive in Indianapolis. Exodus arranges housing, furnishings, food and clothing as well as other basic items to ensure that individuals and families have what they require to begin their new lives. With each new arrival, Exodus staff work closely with community partners as resources to assist newly arrived refugees in obtaining necessary documents and services such as health screenings and care, education, language and cultural orientation, employment training and placement, transportation and interpretation.
