CRIS - Community Engagement Specialist
 
 
 
Community Refugee & Immigration Services (CRIS) is an independent non-profit organization that serves the growing refugee and immigrant populations in central Ohio. We have staff members from all over the world who speak a multitude of different languages. CRIS helps refugees, immigrants, and asylees find a pathway to thriving, from stability to self-sufficiency to successful integration. Our resettlement program directly receives and places refugees from all over the world in our community, and our various other services focus on employment, English language, mentorship, the justice system, access to healthcare, immigration legal services, and more.

You will also innovate and improve programs for effectively addressing the physical, financial, medical, social, and other needs experienced by many newly-arrived refugees.
