The International Rescue Committee (IRC) responds to the world's worst humanitarian crises, helping to restore health, safety, education, economic wellbeing, and power to people devastated by conflict and disaster. Founded in 1933 at the call of Albert Einstein, the IRC is one of the world's largest international humanitarian non‑governmental organizations (INGO), at work in more than 40 countries and 29 U.S. cities helping people to survive, reclaim control of their future and strengthen their communities.

A force for humanity, IRC employees deliver lasting impact by restoring safety, dignity and hope to millions. If you’re a solutions‑driven, passionate change‑maker, come join us in positively impacting the lives of millions of people world‑wide for a better future.

Founded in 1933 at the request of Albert Einstein, the IRC offers lifesaving care and life‑changing assistance to refugees forced to flee from war or disaster. The IRC is on the ground in more than 40 countries, providing emergency relief, relocating refugees and rebuilding lives in the wake of disaster. Through 29 regional offices in cities across the United States, the IRC helps refugees resettle and become self‑sufficient.

Our programs are designed to ensure refugees thrive in America—whether ensuring children are enrolled in school, adults become self‑reliant through employment or starting businesses, or families receive acute medical care they need to recover from trauma or illness. IRC Wichita has been assisting refugees since 2011. The Wichita office offers a range of services including trauma‑informed family support, economic empowerment, education for youth and adults and immigration services.

The IRC helps those in need to rebuild their lives and regain control of their future in their new home.
