Hello everyone! We are CRIS Community Connectors at Ohio State (CCOSU). We are a student-run organization that exists to support a local youth mentorship program provided by the refugee resettlement agency, Community Refugee & Immigration Services (CRIS). Our goal as a student organization is to support the youth mentorship program, Community Connectors by raising money and collecting donations that directly benefit the families we serve.

Since CRIS is grant-funded, they are restricted in where they can allocate those funds. Grant money cannot purchase daily necessities such as rent, groceries, and warm winter clothing. To supplement those needs, CCOSU is hosting the March Kindness campaign. This is our major annual fundraising push in which we aim to support as many families as possible. Together, we can make a stronger Columbus!
