RAMP - Refuge Assistance Morris Partners

RAMP, founded in 2016, is a faith-based, non-profit whose mission is to help vetted, legally admitted refugees from war-torn countries find safety and success in Morris County, New Jersey. In the past six years RAMP teams of volunteers have welcomed and supported eight families from Syria and Afghanistan, now totaling more than 30 people, providing them with everything from housing, furniture, and clothing to educational and employment support. Volunteers provide additional aid navigating medical and social services assistance. RAMP supports families for a year or more. RAMP emphasizes rapid financial self-sufficiency, English language proficiency, and American assimilation. Refugee Assistance Morris Partners is a co-sponsor of refugees with both the International Rescue Committee (IRC) and Church World Service (CWS), two of the nine American refugee resettlement agencies.
