The International Rescue Committee (IRC) responds to the worlds worst humanitarian crises and helps people to survive and rebuild their lives. At work in over 40 countries and 22 U.S. cities to restore safety, dignity and hope, the IRC leads the way from harm to home. The IRC in Atlanta office was established in 1979 and has resettled over 21,000 refugees from nearly 50 countries into the Greater Atlanta area. As the largest refugee resettlement agency in Georgia, the IRC in Atlanta resettles an average of 800 refugees into Georgia annually and provides additional services and assistance to another 1,500 refugees and asylees. The goal of IRC Atlantas Refugee Child Care Microenterprise program, in conjunction with Quality Care for Children, is to empower refugee women that have an entrepreneurial interest by providing certification instruction and training, technical assistance, and small business credit to create and maintain a sustainable child care business. By creating a skill development program for refugee women, their communities will be positively impacted, as more adults can leave their children with culturally appropriate providers and enter the workforce. This program will bring economic growth to refugee households and the greater refugee community. The child care microenterprise volunteer/intern reports directly to the Program Manager and supports efforts under IRCs Child Care Microenterprise program. A qualified volunteer/intern will learn through experience about microenterprise development. This program spans all business development phases from skills development trainings (business and child care), certification and licensing, micro-credit, and on-going technical support both before and after the entrepreneurs business is launched.
