Directory of Ethnic Community Based Organizations (ECBOs)

KOSD has put together a list of Ethnic Community Based Organizations (ECBOs) dedicated to supporting refugees and newcomers within the United States organized by state and alphabetical order. Please use this directory to connect with ECBOs to receive culturally and linguistically appropriate support, find peer networks, and partner! If you would like your organization to be included in this list, please fill out and submit this request form.

This directory was initiated with funding from Switchboard, a project of IRC, through the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Administration for Children and Families, Grant #90RB0053.
