Meet Cheryl: Life-long reader, learner and long-time IRC Volunteer

The IRC works to serve a breadth of immigrant communities in Utah, including refugees, asylees, and asylum-seekers. Learn how the IRC in Salt Lake City specifically serves asylee and asylum-seeking families putting down roots in the Beehive State.

Meet some of the well-known artists, ambassadors, CEOs and other luminaries who were once refugees.
