We continue to work alongside refugee communities and other Ukrainian partners and groups to welcome and support Ukrainians and other refugees in urgent need of safety. We plan to welcome Ukrainian newcomers and provide as much support as we can where needed. Such support may include housing, food security, youth education enrollment, and employment and career efforts. The depth and scope of IRCs work is paramount and immense to refugees, unaccompanied minors, victims of abuse, survivors of human trafficking, and asylees.

The IRC in Boise launches an appeal to support its immigration and citizenship program. There is a high demand from refugees and immigrants for citizenship support.  People who have held green cards for many years are stepping forward to finish the process.  Families have sometimes before made difficult decisions to protect one family member and not others due to the cost. Now, with the support of IRC's dedicated donors, these families will not have to face these gut wrenching decisions.  Any funds raised in excess of those needed for the immediate needs of the clients will support the IRC in Boise's immigration program, including coordinating large scale citizenship workshops, promoting know your rights workshops and citizenship exam prep classes.
