Welcome Centers & Hubs
The Refugee Hope Partners Welcome Center, nestled in the heart of North Raleigh and within walking distance of the apartment complex where RHP first began, stands as a place of welcome, value, and love for refugee families in our city. Opening its doors in June 2022, the Welcome Center is more than a physical space. It is a vibrant hub where families can find support, build connections, and access programs designed to help them thrive. Here, refugees can participate in Adult English classes, Homework Help for K-12 students, Bible studies, citizenship classes, community gatherings, special events, and open hours for additional support.
As RHP continues to grow, we are bringing the Welcome Center model into more communities through Welcome Hubs across Wake County. In 2025, we launched a pilot Welcome Hub in South Raleigh, bringing Adult English classes, childcare, and health and wellness support closer to the nearly 100 refugee families living in the area. This expansion reflects an important part of our vision: when support is available within the communities where families live, it becomes more accessible, relationships grow stronger, and families can connect more easily to a broader network of care and support.
Whether at the Welcome Center or a Welcome Hub, our goal is the same: to create welcoming spaces where refugee families are known, supported, and equipped to thrive in their new home. As we look to the future, we hope to expand this network of Welcome Hubs throughout Wake County, creating more opportunities to engage, equip, and encourage refugee families in partnership with the local church.
