The International Rescue Committee (IRC) is dedicated to helping people affected by humanitarian crises survive, recover, and rebuild their lives. Through resettlement services and ongoing support, they provide a critical foundation for refugees as they begin again in a new country.
What They Do
The IRC is a global nonprofit organization that responds to some of the world’s worst humanitarian crises. Their work includes refugee resettlement, access to healthcare and education, employment support, and long-term integration services to help individuals and families achieve stability and independence.
Where They Serve
The IRC operates worldwide, including within local communities across the United States, where they assist refugees as they transition into new homes and new opportunities.
