The San Diego Refugee Forum is a professional association of organizations and advocates serving all populations fleeing persecution and seeking refuge in San Diego. The Refugee Forum meets monthly to exchange information and advocate on issues of concern to the community of people displaced by war and violent conflict who are now in San Diego.

Membership includes VOLAGs, MAAs, Employment Services, Government Agencies, community-based groups, refugees, advocates, and supporting individuals. The San Diego Refugee Forum meets the third Tuesday of each month, hosts guest speakers and facilitates discussion on topics of interest. The Forum also provides government agencies with an opportunity for gathering information and input on policy issues concerning the refugee community. Active members become voting members upon remitting annual dues.
