The IRC in San Jose

The International Rescue Committee San Jose restores hope and empowers refugees uprooted by violence and oppression to rebuild their lives.  Since opening its doors in 1979, the IRC San Jose has served as the gateway to over 20,000 refugees, who through their own unique cultures and talents, have helped to build a stronger community.
