GenR—short for Generation Rescue—is a group of young, influential humanitarians who have joined forces with the International Rescue Committee to help people survive conflict and disaster and rebuild their lives.
When you become a GenR member, you not only join a community of like-minded individuals, you also have the opportunity to attend exclusive IRC-related cultural events, volunteer with recently resettled refugees, and network with humanitarian leaders.
The IRC helps millions of people whose lives and livelihoods are devastated by crisis to survive, recover and gain control of their futures. At work in over 40 countries and 29 U.S. cities to restore safety, dignity and hope, the IRC leads the way from harm to home. Since 1975, the IRC has resettled nearly 65,000 refugees in Northern California, contributing to the vibrant ethnic communities that make Oakland, Sacramento, San Jose, and Turlock/Modesto. Programs are designed to help refugees become self-sufficient and productive members of their new communities.
