Ahead of the FIFA WorldCup 2022, we celebrate the impact refugees have had on soccer.

The IRC in Salt Lake City is grateful to welcome Danny Beus, its new executive director, to the team as of October 21, 2024.

Many newcomers arrive in the U.S. with a wealth of professional skills and experience, but starting one’s career over again in a new country can be an overwhelming process. Career Connect is a new IRC program helping refugees take steps toward re-entering professions they were forced to leave behind.

The IRC currently hosts advocacy workshops that are free and open to the public.
