Refugee Start Force
“Connecting people, creating networks”
Refugee Start Force is the biggest networking community worldwide for refugees, locals, organizations & companies.
We create social and professional networks with the aim to help refugees to integrate more quickly in the Dutch society, learn language and to find opportunities for volunteer work, internships and jobs.
Our guiding objective is empowering refugees to participate more quickly into the Dutch society and labor market and built a successful life in The Netherlands.
We aim to match refugees, locals, organizations and companies based on professions, skills and expertizes. Our networking groups, projects and events enable refugees to find contacts who can help them to further develop professional skills and ambitions.
We believe that one simple cup of coffee can be basis for the key piece of information that makes a real difference in the life of a refugee!
