We are going to take a deep dive into the process of refugee resettlement at the International Rescue Committee (IRC) in Wichita. This month, we’ll focus on the basics of initial resettlement, including the process a refugee must undergo to be considered for resettlement in the U.S. and the days leading up to their arrival through the eyes of IRC staff and volunteers in Wichita.

At IRC Washington, we play a pivotal role in the local refugee resettlement landscape, providing essential services to help individuals and families transition smoothly. By partnering with Community Support Groups through our Co-Sponsorship Program, we aim to combine our resources and expertise to make a substantial and meaningful contribution to local refugee resettlement efforts.

This World Refugee Day, we examine the pressing challenges that refugees face around the world and consider how we can address them.
