The IRC in Seattle helps people fleeing violence and persecution make Washington their new home. 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.

Presented by Welcome.US & REACT DC, If you are an employer seeking qualified candidates and passionate about supporting work-authorized evacuees (with a focus on those from Afghanistan and Ukrainian) newcomers, join us for our hiring fair in San Diego, California. All candidates will have professional CVs and will be prepared to interview at the event.

The International Rescue Committee’s (IRC) global humanitarian aid and refugee resettlement programs are actively responding to record-high numbers of displaced people by increasing their presence and implementing more efficient ways of working.

This August marked the one-year anniversary of the collapse of the government in Afghanistan, and the beginning of emergency response efforts to evacuate and resettle more than 120,000 Afghan citizens. Hear from Mohammad, a humanitarian parolee!

We sat down with Kristi Haycock, Community Sponsorship Manager, about what is involved in community sponsorship, and how people can get started!
