Volunteer Opportunities

The International Rescue Committee in Salt Lake City’s (IRC SLC) Success Coaching & Mentoring (SCM) program is rooted in its Social Emotional Asset Development (SEAD) framework that develops social and life skills.

Organize your team to privately support a newly arrived refugee family during their first months post-resettlement, ensuring they have the resources, support, and training to effectively navigate their new community. Take a look at how this program works:

Volunteer Tax Screeners ensure that refugee and new American taxpayers have the necessary information and documents to complete a tax return.

Volunteer Tax Preparers provide free, professional tax preparation services for low income refugees and new Americans through the VITA program.

The IRC Family Support Volunteer will help supervise children while their parents are attending Cultural Orientation training and Small Business Classes. Volunteers help entertain and educate children under the supervision of IRC staff.

Support refugees and immigrants as they prepare to take the citizenship test and become American citizens.

New refugees are arriving and we need support with setting up their new homes. Be part of making refugees welcome in Utah!

Interested in supporting families with tax help? IRC is recruiting volunteers nationwide to help in this effort.

Come support parents of young children and pregnant clients access healthy foods.

Join our tech squad to support new families and individuals with digital literacy and troubleshoothing.

Going to the doctor's office can be daunting for those of us born in the US, but think about how confusing it can be for those who are new to Utah. We are looking for volunteers with a flexible schedule that can assist refugees as they access the health care system.

Our office is open! Front desk volunteers will serve IRC clients as they arrive for appointments at our downtown SLC office.
