The IRC in Missoula recently celebrated volunteer appreciation week, which occurs annually during the last week of April. The IRC is grateful to have a dedicated team of volunteers who support New Americans in accessing employment, health care, housing, and more. We're pleased to highlight the work of 4 incredible volunteers who strive to do the work of welcoming everyday. 

On Monday, July 22nd, the IRC in Denver hosted a special screening of PBS12's HUMANIZE at their office followed by an intense and lively Q&A.

Our impact: From supporting refugee youth in their next step of their academic careers to continuing to provide life-changing case management support to asylum-seeking families, the IRC in San Diego is pleased to share a brief look into what we have accomplished this Spring.

On February 23, more than a dozen speakers testified before the Georgia House Higher Education Committee in favor of House Bill 932, a bill which would extend in-state tuition at Georgia public colleges and universities to refugees immediately upon resettlement, as opposed to the current one-year wait period. The bill would also apply to individuals who risked their lives to support the U.S. military overseas, including our Afghan allies who were evacuated last summer.

Refugees are people whose lives you would recognize. They're mothers, fathers, daughters, sons who have escaped violence and persecution. Meet some of the families wrenched apart by the Trump Administration's order halting refugee arrivals to the United States.
