Nolasque Balitebya began working for the IRC as a Swahili interpreter in 2019 shortly after he and his family were resettled in Missoula by the IRC. His 'can-do' attitude and eagerness to support newly arriving refugee families stood out to all staff at the IRC, and he was promoted to Caseworker in 2021. Now, Nolasque has begun the next step in his IRC journey. In March, Nolasque began serving as a Roving Direct Services Program Manager for IRC's Reception and Placement (R&P) programs. We sat down with Nolasque to reflect on his journey with the IRC in Missoula and what he is looking forward to next.

The International Rescue Committee (IRC), San Diego, is committed to placing the people we serve – our clients – at the center of our response.

With this in mind, IRC San Diego aims to strengthen the Client Feedback and Response Mechanism by establishing a centralized multilingual Client Feedback and Response Mechanism (CFRM) across all IRC San Diego programs.
