Who We Are

Community Outreach & Advocacy for Refugees started as a student club at Arizona State University and is now a federally recognized non-profit organization based in Tempe, Arizona.

COAR utilizes youth leadership and community volunteerism to help refugees in their efforts to rebuild positive, self-sufficient lives.

Since its inception, COAR has served over 700 refugee individuals and worked with nearly 300 volunteers. You can learn more about COAR by reading about our mission, philosophy, what we do and how you can get involved.
