The internship program at the IRC in New Jersey provides current or recent graduates, with hands-on experience in refugee resettlement and other areas.

The IRC was delighted to host Cultural Orientation (CO) trainers from all over the world here in Seattle! This visit to Seattle was a unique opportunity for CO trainers and IRC staff to exchange knowledge and experiences. More importantly, it allowed trainers to learn directly from refugee community members who have been through the resettlement process.

New analysis by the International Rescue Committee reveals that midway through the 2021 fiscal year, only 2,050 refugees have been admitted to the United States, a new historical low despite promises by the Biden administration to immediately increase the number of refugees allowed to resettle into the United States.
