The International Rescue Committee’s (IRC) global humanitarian aid and refugee resettlement programs are actively responding to record-high numbers of displaced people by increasing their presence and implementing more efficient ways of working.

Over 1,400 people, including nearly 460 children, have been killed as the country is hit by severe flooding.

This August marked the one-year anniversary of the collapse of the government in Afghanistan, and the beginning of emergency response efforts to evacuate and resettle more than 120,000 Afghan citizens. Hear from Mohammad, a humanitarian parolee!

Community Sponsorship is a new program at the IRC in Salt Lake City! This program gives the community a chance to be involved with the resettlement process in a hands-on way. We sat down with Kristi Haycock, Community Sponsorship Manager, about what is involved in community sponsorship, and how people can get started!

Del Draper, a New Roots volunteer, is August's volunteer highlight! Learn about his work for New Roots, and how volunteering has shaped his view of service and commitment to the community.

Jessie Mitchell, the mental health intern, reflects on the summer semester and what she has learned along the way!
