68.5 million people are uprooted by violence and persecution. In these stories, IRC experts answer your questions about the year's humanitarian headlines.

Online Youth Tutors Amy and Raquel share about the relationships they've gained and the growth they have seen volunteering with students.

The IRC in Seattle helps people fleeing violence and persecution make Washington their new home. 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.
