International Rescue Committee in Atlanta

The mission of the IRC is to help people whose lives and livelihoods are shattered by conflict and disaster, including the climate crisis, to survive, recover, and gain control over their future. Since opening in 1979, the IRC's locally funded office in Atlanta has welcomed more than 30,000 refugees from over 65 countries to resettle in communities across the state. A committed staff of more than 200 professionals work together with volunteers to assist families in reuniting and rebuilding their lives in the greater Atlanta area.

The International Rescue Committee (IRC) in Atlanta creates opportunities for refugees and immigrants to integrate and thrive in Georgia communities. The IRC in Atlanta offers a broad range of programs including resettlement and case management services, adult education classes, youth programs covering ages 5 to 24, employment assistance, asset building resources, community health response programs, and immigration services, all of which serve more than 5,000 clients each year.
