Within a year of arriving in Salt Lake City, Abdul Bari noticed a need in his school and took action: he started a robotics club focused on inclusion, where 90% of club members come from a refugee or immigrant background.

Civic engagement and voter registration education is a strategic priority of the IRC in Salt Lake City. Helping refugees and new Americans to gain, maintain, and expand their voice within the community is central to the IRC’s global Strategy100. Hear from some of our staff about what is new with civic engagement and advocacy.

Looking back on 2020, and forward to a healthy, hopeful new year.

We are excited to welcome David Oliver, our new deputy director! David brings leadership and expertise in program design from his tenure at the IRC in Atlanta.
