Each year, tens of thousands of refugees fleeing violence and persecution resettle in the United States, including the Bay Area. Resettlement means a fresh start and opportunity, especially for adolescent girls whose futures had been limited by a lack of access to education and opportunities and restrictive ideas about  women. Here. these girls have the chance to improve themselves, their families, and their communities. The Vision Project aims to empower refugee girls and change perceptions within their communities by providing girls with the skills and support they need to envision a positive future, and ultimately achieve their goals. The project runs three week-long workshops each year with resettled refugee girls, and each week culminates in a personal photoshoot for each girl where they embody their future selves.

We continue to work alongside refugee communities and other Ukrainian partners and groups to welcome and support Ukrainians and other refugees in urgent need of safety. We plan to welcome Ukrainian newcomers and provide as much support as we can where needed. Such support may include housing, food security, youth education enrollment, and employment and career efforts. The depth and scope of IRCs work is paramount and immense to refugees, unaccompanied minors, victims of abuse, survivors of human trafficking, and asylees.
