About Us
The Life Ahead
Exodus has a long history of welcoming refugees and other humanitarian immigrants from many countries, cultures, languages, faiths, and political opinions. We began in 1981 with the mission to serve the legal needs of immigrants and Cuban refugees, who had arrived as part of the Mariel boatlift in 1980. Since that time, Exodus has helped thousands of refugees from more than 70 different countries establish new lives in Indiana.
Our board of directors, staff, and volunteers are passionate about securing the dignity and human rights of people around the globe.
Our Mission
Exodus Refugee Immigration is dedicated to the protection of human rights by serving the resettlement needs of refugees and other displaced people fleeing persecution, injustice, and war by welcoming them to Indiana.

The best gift I have ever received is my resettlement because it concerns my whole life. I will take care of this gift.
