A re-cap of last week's panel discussion with the title "Human Stories, Global Journeys: Responding to Colorado's new refugees and asylum seekers"

On Thursday, June 20th, 2024, the IRC in Silver Spring celebrated its first annual Beacons of Hope Gala in celebration of World Refugee Day. With over 200 guests in attendance, the event brought together refugees and the individuals and organizations who support immigrants who serve as beacons of hope in Maryland.

Since 2020, the IRC in Silver Spring experienced a 500% increase in the number of individuals we serve. The IRC in Silver Spring is committed to help refugees and immigrants rebuild their lives in the United States. We need you, our supporters in the community, to ensure the newest members of our communities thrive.

Right now, more than ever, it feels as if everyone in the world could use a hug from their mother, grandmother, or someone else who feels like a mother to them. This Mother’s Day we got the chance to celebrate these women who mean so much to us all, including the many refugee mothers who inspire us daily.

The IRC in Silver Spring is supporting vulnerable refugee women by removing barriers to their employment, by offering English instruction, socialization and specialized cultural orientation.

The International Rescue Committee (IRC) in Utah is pleased to present its 2024 Community Impact Report, providing a summary of accomplishments and supports provided to refugees and new Americans in Utah between October 1, 2023 to September 30, 2024.
