International Rescue Committee in Tucson

Save the Date! The United Nations designated June 26th as it marks when the UN Convention Against Torture and Other Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishments came into effect in 1987. Yet in 2026, over 30 years later, torture continues to permeate societies around the world, despite it being an international crime.

The Arizona International Rescue Committee’s Survivors of Torture Program invites you to honor Survivors of Torture by participating in a multi-visual showcase, made in partnership with survivors living in Arizona. We hope that this experience helps educate on who survivors of torture are, what they have experienced, and what services are available to them.

The event will be held at Joe Valdez Main Library on Tuesday 6/16, 10:30AM-4:00PM. Please join us!

National Volunteer Week has ended, but we remain inexpressibly grateful to our volunteers for your partnership, your selflessness, and your dedication. Looking forward to another year of welcome – together.

We can’t do this alone. Thank you to our incredible team of IRC Tucson volunteers and interns for investing in our newest neighbors, and for leading Tucson in this work of welcome. We appreciate you.

Happy National Volunteer Week! This week, nonprofits and other organizations across the country will celebrate the contributions of our volunteers and interns. Whether welcoming families at the airport, driving them to medical appointments, registering kids for school, or delivering job readiness training, our volunteers touch the lives of countless refugees, immigrants, and survivors of trafficking. We are exceedingly grateful for their collaboration and partnership – we are stronger together. Follow along this week to celebrate our IRC CITY volunteers. Who knows – maybe you’ll wind up wanting to join the team!”
