Refugee Resettlement

The International Rescue Committee in La Plata, MD, is dedicated to empowering refugees, asylees, and other vulnerable immigrants as they begin anew in America. Our comprehensive assistance program addresses essential needs by providing furnished homes, support with rent, access to healthcare, and nutritious food to ensure well-being. We offer English language classes and training in job readiness, computer skills, and financial literacy to help individuals build a solid foundation for their future. Moreover, we prioritize education for children, social services for families, and legal assistance for those navigating residency and citizenship processes. From the moment they arrive at the airport, our compassionate case workers and volunteers work tirelessly to create a welcoming environment, facilitating a smooth transition into their new lives.
