Amen Koutowogbe joined the team at the International Rescue Committee in Salt Lake City as an intern in 2020, connected by One Refugee.

The IRC in Charlottesville hosted Refuge and Renewal: Stories of Hope, a fundraiser and storytelling event in collaboration with WTJU radio. Former refugee clients shared personal narratives through panel discussions focused on lived experience and the power of storytelling. With over 100 attendees and a significant amount of money raised, the event celebrated resilience, fostered community connection, and supported ongoing services for IRC clients.

Today, we spotlight a cornerstone of the IRC in Atlanta's programming, the Logistics team, whose work provides the foundation for helping our clients to become self-sufficient, thriving individuals within the Atlanta community.
