Refugee Services Office (Department of Workforce Services)

The mission of the Refugee Services Office is to improve the lives of Utah refugees by effectively:

• Maximizing integration
• Coordinating refugee services
• Managing federal funding

America’s future prosperity depends on refugees' ability to successfully integrate into our society. Refugee integration is a dynamic, two-way process in which newcomers and the receiving society work together to build secure, vibrant, and cohesive communities.

“Integration” is different than “assimilation” or “acculturation” because it emphasizes respect for and incorporation of differences, the need for mutual adaptation, and an appreciation of diversity.

“The best thing you can do to help a refugee is to befriend a refugee.” -Gerald Brown, Director, Refugee Services Office

All successes for and among our refugee neighbors are the result of collaboration between the state and our many community partners and volunteers who work tirelessly to help each refugee thrive.
