The Jesuit Refugee Service (JRS) is an international Catholic organization with a mission to accompany, serve, and advocate on behalf of refugees and other forcibly displaced persons, that they may heal, learn, and determine their own future. JRS programs are currently found in 59 countries, serving refugees and other forcibly displaced persons in conflict zones and detention centers, on remote borders and in busy cities. Our JRS teams are made up of people from diverse faith traditions, or of no religious faith, but all united by belief in the dignity of every person and our world as the common home of all. Jesuit Refugee Service/USA is a 501(c)(3) organization based in Washington, DC that provides support – through funding, oversight, monitoring, and evaluation – to JRS projects and programming throughout the world. JRS/USA advocates to defend and protect refugees at home and abroad by representing them to Congress and US Government officials. JRS/USA also organizes supporters to raise awareness and advocate on refugees’ behalf. JRS/USA serves forcibly displaced migrants in the US through our Migrant Accompaniment Network To learn more about employment opportunities, visit: https://www.jrsusa.org/about-us/jobs-volunteering/
