The mission of the International Rescue Committee (IRC) is to help people whose lives and livelihoods are shattered by conflict and disaster to survive, recover, and gain control of their future. Founded in 1933, the IRC has a presence in over 40 countries and 27 offices in the United States; the IRC leads the way from harm to home. IRC opened an office in Seattle in 1976 and provides a continuum of services including intensive case management, employment and economic empowerment services, immigration assistance, health and wellness programming, and education support to refugee and immigrant families in Washington State. IRC Seattle is committed to providing trauma-informed, equitable, and accessible services and maintaining and evolving a diverse, inclusive, and supportive workplace. 

In 1933, Albert Einstein and a small group of humanitarians banded together to found what became the International Rescue Committee. We now work in over 40 countries where we deliver lasting impact by providing health care, helping children learn and empowering individuals and communities to become self-reliant. In every area of our work, we seek to address the inequalities facing women and girls. 

In 2023 the IRC and our partners reached over 34.5 million people in countries affected by crisis.  

In 2023 the IRC ran Resettlement, Asylum and Integration (RAI) programs in Europe and the United States. As part of this work we: 

• Enrolled 158,068 people in RAI programs. This includes safety and health, resettlement, and economic empowerment programs, as well as education and youth services. 
• Provided 42,839 people with legal assistance
