This summer, the IRC in Tallahassee launched a new, volunteer-led Refugee Literacy program to help middle- and high-school refugee students from the Democratic Republic of Congo to learn English through homework help, socializing and community integration. Volunteers work with students in their homes and become a regular fixture in their lives, providing mentorship and support as they become better orientated into the Tallahassee community.

The IRC in Missoula recently marked three years of resettling refugees in the community with a celebration in Bonner Park.

On June 20, World Refugee Day, the world commemorates the strength, courage, and resilience of millions of refugees. This year, the IRC in Florida’s Tallahassee office worked with local partners to celebrate the vast contributions that refugees have made to our state and to advocate for refugees, asylum seekers and the restoration of the refugee resettlement program.
