Frishta Nasari reflects on her experiences as a newly-arrived refugee and a Dallas Mayor's Intern at the IRC

IRC Iowa now has 6 opportunities available for volunteers to help welcome refugees to their new home.

The IRC's Advocacy Coordinator has been meeting with community groups and members of the Legislature and Congress to build support for refugees in the state.

Through the IRC in Oakland’s varied volunteer opportunities, individuals are able to share their unique experience and expertise directly with the IRC's refugee and asylee clients in the Bay Area. We currently operate several highly effective programs designed to meet a variety of refugee and asylee newcomers' needs.

When Molly and Jeff decided to sign their family up to volunteer with the IRC in Silver Spring’s Family Mentor Program, they had no idea that it would fundamentally change the way they see the world.
