HCC established a new program in 2021, the Valley Refugee Resettlement Project (VRRP), and recruited volunteers to work through IRIS, the Integrated Refugee & Immigrant Services. VRRP, which resettled a Syrian family in 2023, is awaiting our second family from Afghanistan. Volunteers are a critical component of the intense and time consuming resettlement process as we guide the family through all of the requirements for housing, education and employment toward becoming self sufficient and contributing community members. We are seeking caring, concerned, and passionate people to help as volunteers in this process.
