“The International Rescue Committee provides opportunities for refugees, asylees, victims of human trafficking, survivors of torture, and other immigrants to thrive in America.”

After surviving incredible odds, IRC of New York City works to ensure a transition that allows for these individuals to build a new life that is safe and utilizes their strengths and past experiences. By meeting their needs, IRC of New York City helps them to create a new future. IG: @rescueorg

What makes New York unique? Any first-time visitor will tell you that the diversity of the faces on the subway never ceases to amaze. Refugees are an integral part of the fabric of New York. Uprooted from their homes and forced to flee for their lives because of persecution and oppression, refugees from every corner of the earth have found safe harbor in New York’s culturally rich neighborhoods.
