Program/Service Notes:

The IRC helps people fleeing racial, religious and ethnic persecution, as well as those uprooted by war and violence.

At the outbreak of an emergency, IRC provides sanctuary and lifesaving assistance: For refugees driven from their homes, IRC provides emergency assistance: water, food, shelter, sanitation and medical care. Where the emergency has subsided, IRC enables people to rebuild their lives by providing education, training and economic assistance.

 IRC helps thousands of refugees resettle in the United States every year, and our offices across the country make sure that all new arrivals receive shelter, food and clothing. We also provide recently arrived refugees with translation services, English-language instruction, job training, employment services and other counseling.

Last, but not least, IRC is a vocal public policy advocate, calling attention to critical issues affecting refugees around the world.
