International Rescue Committee
Description:
The IRC provides opportunities for refugees to thrive in America. Each year, thousands of refugees are invited by the U.S. government to seek safety and freedom. Forced to flee conflict or persecution, many have survived for years against incredible odds. They step off the plane with next to nothing but their dignity, hope and determination. In Salt Lake City and many other regional offices across the country, the IRC helps them rebuild their lives.<br /><br />Website:<a href="https://www.rescue.org/volunteer-opportunities/salt-lake-city-ut"> International Rescue Committee | International Rescue Committee (IRC)</a>

IRCs Youth Program runs on Tuesdays (ages 8-2) from 4-6pm. Volunteers start out by mentoring refugee youth in this program together with other volunteers with a group of 2 refugee children from all over the world. The schedule and activities are flexible. The purpose of this program is to help youth discover what they love to do, build confidence and provide the support they need. Volunteers under 18 must have parent sign a release. A 10 week commitment is required, as well as a one hour general orientation and youth specific orientation.
