International Rescue Committee reviews

Great field staff, many knowledgable committed staff.

A great place to intern at for anyone looking to gain a hands-on experience. Unlike other organizations where interns/volunteers are involved primarily in the administrative work, the IRC heavily relies on their volunteers in all aspects of their work. As an immigration intern, I was directly involved in service delivery, working with refugee-clients on a daily basis. As an intern/volunteer at the IRC, you are treated as a professional equal by staff members and are granted a great amount of responsibilities. While interns are supported by the staff, they are expected to manage their interaction with clients, client case loads, as well as their work approach independently. This is a great opportunity to learn how the organization works from the inside and a great way to get your foot in the door.
