Learn
Over 500 people have arrived in Missoula as refugees since 2016, when Soft Landing Missoula started. Since then, our work has expanded to include creating a long welcome, not only for people who arrive through the refugee resettlement process, but also through any other immigration pathway. We look to engage everyone from early English-language learners to proficient speakers and new arrivals to people who have been in Missoula for quite some time. We always have something to learn from each other and our doors are always open!
About Refugees & Resettlement
There are more than 84 million people worldwide who have been forcibly displaced from their homes. According to the UNHCR’s population statistics database, over 40 percent of whom are children under 18-years-old. Of those 84 million, nearly 27 million have been deemed refugees by the United Nations.
Other Immigration Pathways
There are many ways people can arrive in this country – and eventually to Missoula, and our doors are open to all of them. Beyond resettlement, these are some of the other most pertinent or timely pathways we’re seeing in our community right now, but it is far from a comprehensive list.
Welcome. Celebrate. Share.
