VISION
AJPR envisions all refugees who arrive in Austin being welcomed and provided with the resources they need to pursue opportunities and build successful lives.

MISSION
Austin Jews and Partners for Refugees are volunteers who provide direct and immediate assistance to refugee families. We do this by:
  • Sustaining an active volunteer corps.
  • Providing household furniture and goods.
  • Connecting refugee families to resources.
  • Providing emergency assistance.

​​
​Resettlement is a moral imperative.

 “Welcoming the stranger” is our privilege. ​​

Our Jewish tradition teaches us that there is no higher obligation than to save the life of another.  Faced with one of the largest refugee crises in human history, Austin Jews & Partners for Refugees (AJPR) was formed to raise our voices for the rights, safety, and very lives of people who are fleeing genocide, persecution, and war Together with our Resettlement Agency partner, HIAS, and our other faith and community partners...

we are committed to aiding those who have been forced to leave their homes.

AJPR is a 501 (c) (3) non-profit charitable organization
