*MTCC AmeriCorps-International Rescue Committee

The International Rescue Committee (IRC) helps people affected by humanitarian crises-including the climate crisis-to survive, recover and rebuild their lives. Founded at the call of Albert Einstein in 1933, the IRC is now at work in over 40 crisis-affected countries as well as communities throughout Europe and the Americas. We deliver lasting impact by providing health care, helping children learn, and empowering individuals and communities to become self-reliant, always seeking to address the inequalities facing women and girls.
