Support RIT’s team! Link in bio to donate to any of our runners and RIT!

At this time of hostile policies towards refugees and immigrants, it is critical that our communities retain access to education, caring case managers, know your rights, and other services to support long-term adjustment to the U.S.

At RIT, we honor our diverse roots as we build towards thriving shared futures. We are excited to participate in this fun healthy event to do just that!

Sunny skies, big smiles, and fresh connections! ☀️🦒

Refugee & Immigrant Transitions hosted a fun-filled field trip to the zoo for local Ukrainian families in San Francisco. We served Ukrainian food to give the group a taste of home while enjoying time together and strengthening the bonds that make a community feel whole.
