GETTING STARTED

Becoming an ECAR Campus

Welcome to ECAR

BECOMING AN ECAR CAMPUS

Every Campus A Refuge is a flexible initiative.

Your institution can adapt the basic goal of housing (for 90 days) and assisting in the resettlement of a refugee family to your campus capabilities. In short, your campus can do as much as it can.  This is possible because this goal is carried out in partnership with your local refugee resettlement agency. They are still responsible for the refugee family’s resettlement and will provide the necessary services for resettlement even while the family is on your campus.

Here is a link to our Best Practices Manual which walks you through implementation step by step, and here is a link to the benefits you will receive once you officially become an ECAR Campus, and here is that checklist should give you a sense of how your chapter might carry out programming at key stages of a typical ECAR life cycle. If you are interested in becoming an ECAR campus, please contact us directly. We are happy to answer any questions and support you in joining the movement.

BECOME A REFUGE

Just remember, a campus is like a small city. You have hundreds of people in college or university community who possess all of the skills and resources needed. Get your community invested and on board. Your local resettlement agency will guide you on how to do it.
