Job Description
IRC BACKGROUND:
Founded in 1933, the IRC is a leading nonsectarian, voluntary organization providing relief, protection and resettlement services for refugees and victims of oppression or violent conflict. One aspect of the IRC is to assist refugees resettling in the United States. The IRC opened a Denver office in 2016 to provide reception and placement services to newly arrived refugees. The office is slated to resettle more than 600 refugees in the coming federal fiscal year. Wraparound program services and holistic supports aim to realize positive impact in clients’ safety, health, education, economic wellbeing, and power. Some services are limited to refugees and other Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR)-eligible populations, while others are open to a broader population of refugees, immigrants, and forcibly displaced people.
JOB OVERVIEW:
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. Strengthening client voice in all aspects of our work and increasing accountability to clients is an IRC priority, and the Client & Community Engagement Specialist will play a key role in supporting client engagement and feedback initiatives at the local level. The Specialist 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.
