BACKGROUND:

For over 75 years the International Rescue Committee has helped refugees escape persecution and rebuild their lives in New York. The IRC New York Youth Program supports personal growth, cultural adjustment, and education of refugee, immigrant, and other youth and their families through partnerships with New York City public schools, community-based organizations and local colleges and universities to provide year-round academic support, literacy training, and enrichment activities.

The IRC has been working on Staten Island’s North Shore since 2006 to increase the number and quality of services available to the Island’s growing refugee and immigrant communities, serving in particular the large Liberian, Sierra Leonean and other West African populations.
