When Eielnata started first grade in a local elementary school this fall, she had a new backpack filled with school supplies. Over the years, the IRC has worked with many community groups and individuals to provide new backpacks and other needed items to support refugees and immigrants as they start school in Baltimore.

The IRC in Tucson offers several team oriented activities. These activities range from group work days at a refugee garden to organizing a fundraising events. Gather a group of friends, family members, or co-workers and get involved!

The interpretation team at the IRC in Salt Lake City provides essential language services for the people that we serve. With 18 languages to offer, the team provides an integral service to ensure refugees and other new Americans receiving services from the IRC and its local partners are able to effectively communicate in their preferred language. 

The IRC’s Boise office offers a variety of unpaid internship opportunities throughout the year. Prospective interns must go through the volunteer process and should be currently enrolled in an educational institution or a recent graduate.
