IRC staff reflect on the past year and how it has changed the way we continue to serve our clients.

IRC in Richmond brings the resettlement shop to our clients, delivering personalized, needed items.

The IRC in Phoenix is committed to supporting newly arrived refugees on their journey from harm to home. As part of that commitment, we provide refugees with the basics they will need to start rebuilding their lives here in the U.S. Join our efforts by gathering much-needed in-kind donations to assist newly arrived refugee families and individuals as they work to regain control of their future and positively integrate into our community.

Starting this month, the IRC offices in San Jose and Turlock/Modesto have teamed up with the federal government to provide virtual orientation services for asylees, replacing in-person orientation services formerly provided at the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services asylum office in San Francisco.

The IRC in Boise will launch a new career pathway open to all — refugee, immigrant, and US born individuals — to upskill and train as industrial sewing technicians.

The IRC in Boise continues to translate and share community-oriented information about the vaccine, frequently asked questions, and how to schedule appointments for those who are ready and eligible.

When Vivien Jacob came to the United States as a refugee through the IRC in 1990, little did she know she would one day end up serving as the Director for the IRC's Turlock/Modesto office. The following interview by community engagement outreach intern Perry Fishel takes a look at Vivien's nearly 20-year legacy with the IRC.

Ines who volunteered with the IRC in Silver Spring to reunite children with their parents now provides them critical services

Nearly 100 asylum-seekers are arriving daily in Phoenix, fleeing violence and persecution in their home countries for the safety and freedom of the United States. The International Rescue Committee (IRC) and our partner organizations are providing critical humanitarian assistance to these families when they arrive, including food, shelter, and medical assistance.

As part of our staff spotlight series, we'd like to introduce you to our newest Reception and Placement caseworker, Ellie Mercado!
