The Refugee and Immigrant Student Empowerment (RISE) program is an educational enrichment program for recently arrived refugee and immigrant students in grades 9-12. RISE is delivered as a drop-in program that provides tutoring services to an average of 10-25 students a day. RISE aims to develop the academic skills and confidence to support the success of these students in American educational systems through tutoring, conversational activities, art-based activities, field trips and family nights. RISE volunteers act as tutors, mentors and group facilitators. They provide academic support and assistance, facilitate activities and games (when needed) and help students practice English and build community. RISE places a large emphasis on community building and as a result, we are looking for volunteers who are compassionate, hardworking, possess a good sense of humor and can adapt to various situations and learning needs. Volunteers can also participate in family engagement events and field trips.

IRCO is evolving the level of support we provide for the people we serve by offering furniture, clothing, everyday household items, and personal care supplies. Not only are people’s needs greater since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, but resources are slimmer. The New Beginnings Market allows our Fundraising and In-Kind Donation team to collect more items, allowing for more options to choose from, and displaying the items in a customer-friendly way. The Shop Assistant will help schedule appointments, welcome visitors, assist staff and clients with small shopping items, and keep the shelves organized for future visits.
