Since January 2018 the IRC in Dallas has been on a journey to create a space for refugee youth to share their thoughts, experiences, and interests.

New Roots focuses on food security, food access and agriculture in the refugee community. New Roots is a national program and is located in 12 different cities. In Dallas, we have partnered with 8 different community gardens to provide growing space for our clients. We hope you enjoy this video created by GenR member, Jigna Vora.

Meet Shakira, Julia, Nelson, Jamila, Suzan and Bijou—six entrepreneurs who are rebuilding their lives in Uganda, a country that hosts more than 1.2 million refugees.

We are so incredibly grateful and humbled that the Dallas community came forward to support our refugee families in the biggest way during our annual Adopt-A-Family program this past holiday season.

Finding a job is the first order of business for most adults arriving in San Diego as refugees, but sometimes finding a way to get to work can be even more challenging than finding the job itself.  

Refugees bring stories of resilience and strength to their resettled country and so much more than they can carry: hopes and dreams, experiences and talents, traditions and heritage. Amira Kherrallah, originally from the Central African Republic, brought all of this with her to the U.S. after she was forced to flee her home. Read about how she overcame obstacles through her passion to serve her community.

The IRC in Salt Lake City has adapted program delivery and expanded services throughout the pandemic. Now, in 2022, sights are set on further strengthening programs, increasing services available to families served, and deepening commitments to local communities.

Mukasa Agnes Flavia, a resilient refugee who arrived in the U.S. in 2019, faced challenges but found strength through the IRC. Supported by our programs, she purchased her first car and transformed her life. Now employed and active in addressing societal issues, Flavia's journey reflects resilience, gratitude, and advocacy. Join the IRC in supporting refugees like Flavia on their road to resettlement.

The IRC in Atlanta, in partnership with Refugee Women’s Network, the Latin American Association, and the Somali American Community Center, has received an $800,000 award from the U.S. Small Business Administration to help small business owners from Georgia's diverse communities rebuild resilient, thriving companies.
