On Thursday, July 30, the IRC in Florida is participating in World Day Against Trafficking in Persons by inviting the community to join a live online panel discussion regarding human trafficking in South Florida. Florida ranks in the top three U.S. states for reported incidents of human trafficking, and South Florida exhibits the largest percentage of those cases.

In the lead up to Super Bowl LIV, the IRC in Miami’s Caridad Mas-Batchelor delivered numerous trainings for Uber drivers across the tri-county area on how to recognize and report human trafficking.

The IRC in LA booth included staff members from Resettlement, Early Employment, Citizenship and Immigration departments. Refugees, asylees and immigrants asked staff and volunteers about the IRC’s mission, its office services and citizenship and financial literacy workshops. The IRC in LA is a founding member of the RFLA and helped to organize the World Refugee Day event.

The IRC’s Tucson office has a variety of internship opportunities throughout the year!
