Our U.S. and global staff are deeply experienced leaders in their field and can be made available for interviews or to provide information on matters of advocacy and policy, refugee resettlement and refugee protection, asylum and asylum seekers, and global displacement.
Drawing on our Jewish values and history, and working with host communities, HIAS provides vital services to refugees, asylum seekers, and other displaced and stateless people around the world and advocates for their fundamental rights so they can rebuild their lives.

If you are displaced and need assistance, please contact us at info@hias.org.
For media inquiries or to set up an interview with a HIAS expert, please contact media@hias.org.
Note: Due to volume of requests received, we may not be able to respond to all student media inquiries, and we cannot respond to requests for help from our media email. Please contact us at info@hias.org if you are displaced and need assistance.
Our Name
A note about our name: while we were founded as the “Hebrew Immigrant Aid Society” more than a century ago, people have always refereed to our organization as “HIAS”, and that has been our legal name for many decades. We suggest reporters refer to us as HIAS, the global Jewish humanitarian organization that supports refugees. Learn more about our history.
