Actor and IRC Ambassador Mandy Patinkin traveled to Jordan to share the stories of courageous and extraordinary Syrians who are overcoming trauma and hardship to carve out new lives.

We are abundantly grateful for our volunteers and interns—like April—whose dedicated service to the IRC changes lives. Coalition and collaboration are essential to sustain welcome and human dignity across our communities for refugees, immigrants and survivors of human trafficking. Join us!

IRC partnered with the Charlottesville Fire Department to distribute bikes and educational training to newly arrived refugees.

Natalie El-Deiry, former deputy director who co-founded Spice Kitchen Incubator and strived to expand and deepen other strategic initiatives, started in her new role as executive director in April 2019.
