Adult Basic Education
Matches adult volunteers with children who need a supportive adult in their life. The program recruits men and women who are willing to make a commitment to a child for at least one year. Volunteers spend 4 hours a month with a child, participating in activities of their choice throughout the community (going to the zoo, playing catch, or taking a walk). Staff members evaluate prospective volunteers for the qualities necessary to contribute to the healthy development of the child. A child is matched with a volunteer big brother, big sister, couple or family according to the child's needs and the capabilities of the volunteer(s). Following the match, supervision is provided by the professional staff to assist the big brother, sister, couple or family in developing a strong positive relationship with the child.

SCHOOL BASED MENTORING offers adult volunteers the opportunity to meet with a child in their school for one hour a week during the school year. During that hour, the match spends time working on the child's schoolwork, talking, and quite simply, building a friendship. Children are referred to this program by school personnel with parental approval.

SCHOOL BASED PLUS MENTORING is an extension of our School Based Mentoring. After three months in School Based Mentoring can join this program. School Based Plus allows Bigs and Littles the opportunity to meet once a month outside the school setting. They are able to enjoy activities such as picinic at the park, going to sporting events, the movies, or any other activities they might enjoy together.

COMMUNITY BASED MENTORING allows individuals who are 18 or older to visit with a child twice a month for a minimum of 4 hours. Bigs spend time with their Littles participating in activities throughout the community. Whether its going to the zoo, playing catch, or just taking a walk, its a great chance to form a bond. The possibilities are endless for the growth of a new friendship. Community Based Mentoring also allows for Big Duo (two friends, co-workers, a husband and wife, etc.) or a Family Matches. Children are referred to this program by their parent or guardian.

Provides opportunities for refugees, asylees, victims of human trafficking, survivors of torture, and other immigrants to thrive in America. Services include:

Reception and Placement: Meeting critical needs in the early months after arriving in the United States. IRC staff and community partners ensure newly arrived refugees are greeted at the airport, have a furnished home, receive time-limited rental assistance, have access to nutritious food, healthcare and education, and are given appropriate social services referrals.

Employment Services: Early self-sufficiency through employment is the foundation of the US Refugee Program. IRC staff and volunteers provide job readiness training, vocational counseling, resume preparation, job search and placement services, and financial assistance for basic needs with the goal of helping refugees find their first job in America. Employment services are provided to refugees for up to five years from their date of arrival.

Intensive Case Management: Some refugees face barriers that make rapid employment difficult. Others face cultural barriers that require additional training and orientation support to learn to navigate American systems independently. Still others face crisis after an initial period of stability. For those refugees, IRC provides intensive case management services for up to five years after arrival.

Financial Coaching: Financial Coaching at IRC offers new Americans and other vulnerable populations an opportunity to build their financial knowledge, skills, and assets. Through a combination of one-on-one coaching and financial education classes, IRC delivers innovative, effective programs by combining evidence-based strategies with an unparalleled ability to deliver culturally and linguistically accessible programs. As a result of these programs, people are able to build their family income and assets, contributing to the economic vibrancy of communities across America.

Can also offer youth tutoring and mentoring for those in the community that need a little extra help.
