As the United States and Europe deal with a heat wave, people least responsible for global emissions are on the front lines of an urgent, deadly battle against climate change.

In celebration of World Refugee Day this year, the IRC in Richmond partnered with the Richmond Ivy Soccer Club! Throughout the month of June, a portion of ticket sales from four Ivy home games went directly toward supporting our programs that assist newcomers as they rebuild their lives in Richmond. In addition to the financial support, IRC staff had the opportunity to attend four home games to engage with Ivy fans and share about IRC services available to members of our community.
