Volunteer

Description

The Galway Community Sponsorship Group sponsors the arrival of students from a refugee background residing outside the European Union to come to Ireland through a safe and legal pathway. The group comes together, fundraises, and supports the students in their arrival to foster integration. Our project focuses on resettlement through education .

Our aim is to redistribute the world's refugee population in a more equitable way, and create sustainable solutions for refugees, who can seize opportunities to become self-reliant and independent.

We coordinate with the UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency in Ireland, Nasc, the Migrant and Refugee Rights Centre, and the University of Galway.
