Client Voices Promoter

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.

IRC believes that designing our strategies and programs based on clients' particular needs and preferences is one of the most critical drivers of impact. We also believe that we have a role to play in working with clients so that they can engage as an equal, influential partner both with IRC and in the broader community through advocacy. The Client Voices Promoters will play a key role in supporting client engagement, and feedback initiatives at the local level.

Promoters will work to bring together multi-ethnic, multi-racial and multi-sector constituencies to build the power of refugees and immigrants and the organizations that serve them to ensure their sustainability and improve people s lives.
