REFUGEE QUESTIONS



Many American communities are 
experiencing a surge in membership as a 
result of Iranian Bahá'ís resettling in their 
areas.  If your Bahá'í community has new 
Persian members, questions or situations 
may arise that require guidance and 
consultation with offices at the Bahá'í 
National Center.  

Should you have questions or problems 
with a Refugee's initial resettlement, 
working with volunteer agencies often 
known as a "VOLAG" (i.e. HIAS, Catholic 
Charities and Lutheran Services, etc.), or 
sponsorship of an individual or family, 
please feel free to contact the:
U.S. Bahá'í Refugee Office
