The IRC Denver Youth Department have developed new programming to counteract feelings of isolation in Denver refugee youth

For National Volunteer Week, we are highlighting some of our volunteers who have helped the IRC in Dallas this year. Read about them here.

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

In March of 2021, approximately 19,000 unaccompanied children attempted to enter the United States through the border with Mexico. For a small percentage of these children, Florida communities are their new home, where they still face challenges. Many of these children have endured traumatic experiences, and many of them find themselves in a state of limbo as cases clog up a fragile and unprepared immigration system, exacerbating their isolation. 

Janet shares about the connections she has made volunteering at the front desk and as a Citizenship Tutor. Doug, a volunteer with New Roots, likes the hands-on work at the farm.

Jack and Dave share their experiences of volunteering with the IRC in Salt Lake City's Tech Squad.

Online Youth Tutors Amy and Raquel share about the relationships they've gained and the growth they have seen volunteering with students.
