Our Work in France

The Jesuit Refugee Service France fights against the isolation and social exclusion of asylum seekers and refugees in France. JRS France’s work is based on field and local action, implemented by 40 regional offices: hospitality and temporary accommodation programs, legal support, cultural and professional integration, and French language classes.

JRS France also participates in advocacy, defending the rights of asylum seekers at the national and European level.

Reconciliation In a spirit of welcome and hospitality, reconciliation creates a communal expression of social cohesion and acceptance of refugees within society.
