IRC in NY & NJ celebrates 2024 World Refugee Day

The IRC and the American Express Foundation have partnered to create the Workforce Integration for Newcomers (WIN) program, an initiative focused on providing people with the skills and pathways they need to prepare for their new life in host communities and achieve long-term success at work.  

In Ténenkou Cercle, central Mali, Amina travels to the most inaccessible communities to support women and girls facing insecurity and gender-based violence.

IRC volunteer Hanat Balimuttajjo has served the IRC in Turlock/Modesto as a volunteer since September 2018. A native of Uganda who grew up in England, Hanat taught English in Kuwait and Saudi Arabia before coming to the United States in December 2017.

On July 14th, 2021, the International Rescue Committee in Silver Spring partnered with Baby2Baby, a nonprofit organization that supplies necessities to children in need across the United States, to provide diapers and wipes to IRC clients adversely impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic.

Along with special guests from Prosperity Now, the IRC examines how the recent stimulus acts, including the Cares Act, provides reliefs for working families struggling during the COVID-19 pandemic.

During the 2022 Utah Legislative Session, the International Rescue Committee in Salt Lake City worked with a variety of partners to raise awareness and advocate alongside refugee, immigrant and new American communities living in the Beehive State.

Thank you, Goldman Sachs Community TeamWorks for coming out and hosting the very first Women's Economic Empowerment Luncheon at the IRC in Dallas!

Help us directly support refugee families during COVID-19.
