Indiana

Indiana's history with refugees dates back to the late 20th century, notably during the resettlement efforts following the Vietnam War. In the early 21st century, the state became a destination for refugees from various countries, including Burma, Somalia, and Syria. Local communities and organizations have played vital roles in providing support and integration for refugees, contributing to Indiana's diverse cultural fabric. The Community Programs team in Indiana is actively engaged with local nonprofit organizations, serving in the community, and developing opportunities for collecting and sharing refugee stories.
