Refugee Empowerment Program

REP is an ethnic-community based organization serving refugees and immigrants in Memphis, TN.

Our mission is to empower refugees and immigrants in Memphis, TN by offering high-quality, tailored programming that encourages, educates, and equips individuals, families, and the community. We walk alongside our new neighbors as they integrate into American culture and work to achieve their personal and professional goals. 

Our vision is a united, prosperous, and well-acclimated newcomer community who have achieved self-actualization in creating new homes away from home in Memphis, TN. Our ultimate goal is to be run by and for refugees and immigrants themselves.

Our values are Community, Collaboration, Diversity, Inclusion, Self-representation, and Self-sufficiency. We were founded by a resettled refugees, and refugees are represented at every level of decision making, including our Board Chair and 60% of our staff.
