Here's what you should know about these emerging programs empowering refugees and immigrants in Idaho.

Anu Subramaniam has been volunteering with the IRC in Silver Spring office for a year as a youth tutor. She sees her volunteer service intimately linked to her work to "enforce access and equity in a world that does not."

This summer, The IRC in Dallas partnered with the George W. Bush Institute to be a part of their Liberty and Leadership Forum.

Families in the Dallas area, including refugees, are relying on produce IRC New Roots coordinator Isabella Chamberlain harvests from the IRC's New Roots gardens every week. The gardens were created as a way for newly arrived refugees to settle into their new communities, earn an income from what they grow, and enjoy more fresh produce at home. But now Isabella is working alone, for safety.

As refugee families and individuals work to build their assets including achieving homeownership, the IRC’s down matched savings program helps make these dreams a reality.

Hosted by Alison Millan, the IRC in Elizabeth's Resettlement Director, community partners gather quarterly to update each other on available resources, shared knowledge, and current issues facing refugees in New Jersey.
