For group leaders

Are you a group leader who would like your organization to host an activity welcoming the college-age refugee population — big or small? Our first survey was made just for you. We’ll help with the planning and logistics.

For students & mentors

Want to become a mentor or join a Group Connect event? We recommend our second survey to sign up. If you’re a student, you don’t even need to leave campus — RYAN pairs meet bi-weekly right where you already are.

We currently have a chapter at Michigan State University in East Lansing, Michigan, U.S.A., so participation is currently limited to mid-Michigan. Not fair, you say? Then consider starting a chapter near you — reach out and we’ll help you get started.
