Volunteer orientation: Refugee 101 introductory meetings

The first step to volunteering with the IRC in Boise is to attend our volunteer orientation. Dedicated volunteers and interns expand the work we do by supporting IRC clients on their path to recovery and self-sufficiency in Idaho. Given that the IRC in Boise operates Monday-Friday, 9:00-5:00, most volunteer opportunities fall within those hours. If you are interested in volunteering, please plan to attend this introductory meeting which gives an overview of refugee resettlement, asylum and integration services and opportunities to volunteer at the IRC in Boise.

The next meeting will be at the IRC office (7291 W. Franklin Rd. Boise, ID 83709) on
