Mission Statement:

Resource Center Matamoros is a grassroots project that provides a safe space where refugees at the southern Texas-Mexico border can access legal and social support services, that support their right to the asylum process.

Our Philosophy: 

As refugees continue to reside in Matamoros, Tamaulipas, we continue to respond to needed social support services in real-time. We are committed to developing and implementing practical solutions.

With a focus on aiding refugees residing on both sides of the “frontera” or Texas/Mexico border, Resource Center Matamoros acts a compassionate bridge of humanitarian aid as we extend a helping hand to those without the tools to create better lives for themselves and their families.

As a leading non-governmental organization providing trauma-informed care, RCM has established relationships with all levels of the Mexican government to advocate for health, wellness and dignity for refugees.

At the foundation of our work are the principles of trust, respect, integrity and a commitment to create the greatest positive impact for the vulnerable population we serve.
