The International Rescue Committee goes to crisis zones to rescue and rebuild. We lead refugees from harm to home.

The IRC in San Diego

Welcome to the International Rescue Committee San Diego!   Each year, more than 800 refugees arrive from East Africa, the Middle East, and Southeast Asia. IRC San Diego's multi-lingual staff work closely with refugees from the day they arrive to the day they become US citizens.  Our many programs ensure that refugee families are successfully resettled in our community.

Community support is essential to our work.  Here's how you can help:
