Wendy Norris is the head athletic trainer at DeMatha Catholic High School. Her passion to serve stems from the memory of one of her students, a Navy SEAL, who was killed in 2010 while serving in Afghanistan.  In August 2021, the Taliban overthrew the government of Afghanistan. Searching for a way to help those who served alongside her student, Wendy signed up to volunteer with the IRC.   

The International Rescue Committee in Salt Lake City actively participated in the 2021 Utah Legislative Session providing opportunities for refugees to shape policy outcomes and lead the way in making Utah a more welcoming state for all who live here.

The IRC in Salt Lake City has adapted program delivery and expanded services throughout the pandemic. Now, in 2022, sights are set on further strengthening programs, increasing services available to families served, and deepening commitments to local communities.
