Help Refugees in the United States and Worldwide

by INTERNATIONAL RESCUE COMMITTEE INC

The International Rescue Committee (IRC) responds to the world's worst crises and is a leading provider of services for refugees, asylum seekers, victims of trafficking and other vulnerable immigrants in cities across the United States. Over the last 40+ years, the IRC has helped settle nearly 400,000+ refugees from 120 countries in the U.S.

In 28 U.S. cities, the IRC provides vital services aimed at helping clients survive, reclaim control of their future and strengthen their communities. Your gift today can help the IRC change the lives of refugees through programming, including:

• Resettlement support: We welcome refugees upon their arrival, help newcomers find housing, provide English language classes, enroll children in school, and help families navigate new systems and culture during their critical first months as new Americans.

• Immigration and Citizenship: A Board of Immigration-accredited legal services provider since 1958, the IRC offers low-cost, high-quality immigration services, as well as support along pathways to obtaining American citizenship.

• Economic Empowerment: Economic empowerment programs help refugees and other recent immigrants gain employment, start businesses and become financially stable, ensuring they get back on their feet quickly and are accorded the dignity of self-reliance.

• Mental Health: The IRC’s mental health programs empower refugees to come to terms with their experiences and develop healthy relationships, enabling them to navigate the challenges of establishing a new home in a profoundly unfamiliar environment.

• New Roots: The IRC’s New Roots program develops urban gardens, farms, and markets and offers culturally-appropriate nutrition, job skills, and leadership training that benefits refugees, immigrants and their neighbors.

• Women’s Empowerment: Refugee women and girls face unique challenges as they adjust to their new lives in the United States. Our staff works to ensure that female clients are healthy, educated and able to contribute to a society where they are valued and empowered.

Your compassionate support to the IRC’s programs in the United States and worldwide gives a gift that helps refugees and other new immigrants rebuild their lives and enrich the fabric of their communities. Your gift will be used when and where it's most needed.
