Pros

The staff at the IRC is diverse and brings to the table so many different perspectives and experiences. Everyone is passionate about social justice and advocating for the rights of refugees. The work is challenging and there is a lot of it. IRC hires many former interns and volunteers.

Cons

Your experience depends on your supervisor and team (some supervisors are better/more attentive than others). As an intern or AmeriCorps, you have to fight to have your voice heard. The political climate makes the work extremely difficult to complete due to severe restrictions in staffing and funding. The refugee resettlement field in general is under attack and it impacts morale of the staff. Little or no work life balance - you are often required to work outside the typical 9-5 schedule.
