Topic: The Annual Survey of Refugee Service Providers

Presenter: Biz Herman

Session Details: At a time of major change in refugee resettlement in the United States, when conventional approaches to services are being challenged, reimagined, and transformed, Switchboard will develop and administer the Annual Survey of Refugee Service Providers (ASRSP), an annual, nationally representative survey of refugee service providers to explore refugee service provider well-being, professional and organizational experience, and perceptions of impact and effectiveness related to refugee outcomes. Switchboard will administer the online survey annually to enable both cross-sectional analyses and year-over-year insights from a representative sample of refugee service providers from across the U.S. refugee resettlement sector. At present, we are conducting an extensive consultative and participatory research process to inform the design of the survey instrument, which will be piloted in late 2024. Following the pilot, we will field the first wave of the survey in 2025.

This session will be a seminar and participants are not required to read a paper beforehand.
