Piloting the E2E toolkit to empower frontline staff and enable community participation

IRC in Charlottesville and Richmond will continue to provide vital services while safe-guarding our community.

In 1940 young journalist Varian Fry began a daring mission to help Jewish refugees and some of the Nazi’s most-wanted escape the Holocaust.

The IRC in Richmond offers a variety of unpaid internship opportunities throughout the year.

August and September are school enrollment season for the IRC in New York Youth team. With schools closed over the summer, there is typically a backlog of students needing to enroll in school for the first time since arriving in the US. This past school enrollment cycle, the IRC in NY’s Youth Programs team enrolled over 40 youth into the public school system. This is double the number of enrollments from last year!

The IRC in NJ held its 7th annual Refugee Youth Summer Academy this year. The 3-week summer academy was held at Kean University, with over 100 newly arrived students in attendance!

We are continuously addressing the current and potential impacts this outbreak will have on IRC programs in Northern California (Oakland, Sacramento, San Jose, Turlock/Modesto). IRC is providing critical information in all relevant languages to IRC employees, volunteers, refugees, victims of trafficking, asylees, and other hard-to-reach populations. We are working hard to ensure families have access to life essentials: food, internet and devices, cash assistance and all eligible public benefits.
