An interview with Jessica Blake, IRC in Denver Economic Empowerment VISTA.

The International Rescue Committee is now host to a Small Business Development Center.

More than 224 million school-aged children are affected by crises globally. Find out more.

The International Rescue Committee (IRC), San Diego, is committed to placing the people we serve – our clients – at the center of our response. We aim to be responsive to our client’s priorities, preferences, and feedback and to safeguard them against all forms of exploitation and abuse, whether by our staff or partners. With this in mind, IRC San Diego aims to strengthen the Client Feedback and Response Mechanism by establishing a centralized multilingual Client Feedback and Response Mechanism (CFRM) across all IRC San Diego programs. 

Starting Wednesday, 3/18, the IRC in Dallas will close our office and all of our staff will begin working remotely. Here's what you can do to help.

Each year over half of the refugees resettled by the IRC in San Diego are children; in 2022 18% of new arrivals were under 18 years old. Having reached the US, their futures are brighter than the uncertainty, conflict and violence they left behind but as they enter the American education system, refugee youth face a unique set of barriers to academic success.

The IRC in San Diego provides immigration services and application help, citizenship preparation classes, Know-Your-Rights Trainings and more. Click here to learn more about immigration services available for San Diego residents.
