neighbors

"I love International Neighbors. I want to be a Great Neighbor too."

"They give to us what money can not buy… hope."

"International Neighbors puts the human in humanity."

The Way Forward

International Neighbors was founded on the following premise: that the United States of America has the capacity—as well as the obligation—to offer a preset number of human beings, forced violently from their country, the opportunity to reestablish their lives without fear and persecution, safely within our borders.


Our mission remains the same: equipping newcomers with the skills and networks needed to thrive in Charlottesville. Read more in this joint letter from our CEO and Board Chairman.
