Presenter Bio

Meg Sagaria-Barritt is the Integration Partnerships Coordinator for the Colorado Refugee Services Program (CRSP), which is part of the Colorado Department of Human Services. CRSP is the state agency designated to lead refugee resettlement in Colorado. In this role, she leads outreach efforts to educate receiving communities, trains the state’s contractors to achieve key performance outcomes, and strengthens the network of refugee service providers to learn from one another and better align their work. She is deeply committed to creating social change through education, creating awareness, and building globally-connected communities.

She has extensive experience in the field of refugee resettlement, having led a yearlong research study on the long-term psychosocial outcomes for refugees resettled in Massachusetts. At EDCD/African Community Center of Denver, she helped develop and oversee adult employment readiness programs that helped prepare newcomers for the workforce in the U.S.   

Previously, Meg helped the startup nonprofit US Brazil-Connect scale a bi-national program connecting youth from these two countries. She helped scale their flagship program from one to 18 states in Brazil. More recently, at the Posner Center for International Development, she strengthened a network of 150+ global development organizations by fostering collaboration, leading an innovation grants program, and coordinating organizational development programming. Meg has a B.A. in Religion from the University of Rochester and an M.A. in International Development and Social Change from Clark University.
