The IRC in Silver Spring offers internships across our programs in the spring, summer and fall. These internships generally last from 3-4 months and require a commitment of at least 15 hours per week.

The IRC in Silver Spring is committed to bringing our refugee clients from harm to home. As a part of that commitment, we provide them with necessities – such as clothing and household items – they will need to start rebuilding their lives here.

There are many ways to get involved with the IRC's work in Silver Spring.

Private donations contribute greatly to the success of the IRC's work. Although we receive state and federal funding for initial resettlement and employment services, the assistance we provide to refugee families beyond their first few months in the U.S. would not be possible without community support.

New Roots NY and IRC’s POWER (Providing Opportunities for Women’s Economic Resilience) program have teamed up this spring to offer a comprehensive and engaging job training program.
