Civic engagement and voter registration education is a strategic priority of the IRC in Salt Lake City. Helping refugees and new Americans to gain, maintain, and expand their voice within the community is central to the IRC’s global Strategy100. Hear from some of our staff about what is new with civic engagement and advocacy.

The IRC and Sesame Workshop have won $100 million in the MacArthur 100andChange competition to deliver the largest transformative early learning program for more than nine million refugee children in the Middle East.

The IRC in NY gives thanks to its partners who supported refugee families this past fall with housing and continue to do so. IRC partners have supported clients by 1) securing household basics, amenities, and furniture, 2) participating in the hands-on move-in work, and 3) extending a warm welcome to families.

The IRC in NJ is taking the time to extend its appreciation to its partners, many of whom are active agents of change in their community and beyond.
