The team in Denver is working hard to adjust services to be delivered remotely to refugees and immigrants.

An eye-opening encounter at the dental office changed the course of her career. As a Senior Legal Representative with the IRC for 23 years, Nadeana has paved the way for many clients to become U.S. citizens.

Asylum seekers in America face case processing delays and barriers to employment. The IRC calls on Congressional leaders to address these challenges and support people seeking protection in the U.S.

Angelica did not want to take her family and risk the violence and poverty she had fled in Mexico, nor did she wish to continue living in the shadows of being undocumented in the U.S. She thought the only other option would be to tear their family apart with one parent living on each side of the border.

One of the IRC's first priorities when refugees arrive in Northern California is to help employable adults secure jobs that will allow them to begin covering expenses and building a new life. Some clients arrive with the professional background and necessary skills to pursue a career similar to that in their home country. To help with this, the IRC offers career development programming to clients who have already secured their survival job and are interested and ready to move forward. 

CHOMP’s Dinner in the Park was a remarkable display of generosity and community. The event featured produce grown by local refugee gardeners and raised more than $5,000 for the IRC's New Roots program.
