World Refugee Day is an international holiday celebrating refugees around the globe. Every year on June 20, we celebrate the strength and bravery of people forced to leave their homes. In mid-2025, 117.5 million people around the world remained forcibly displaced. The artwork you see here was created by one of our IRC staff members in the Charlottesville office.

As defined by the United Nations 1951 Refugee Convention, refugees are someone fleeing their home due to “a well-founded fear of persecution because of his/her race, religion, nationality, membership in a particular social group, or political opinion”.

The IRC in Virginia works to support refugees as they find stability and self-sufficiency in the Commonwealth. To help us continue serving our community, please consider donating to our Donor Drive using the following link.

Happy Juneteenth! In recognition of the holiday, the IRC offices in Charlottesville will close at 3:00pm on Thursday, June 18 and will be closed on Friday, June 19.

Juneteenth marks that day that Union troops arrived in Galveston Bay, Texas on June 19th, 1865, and announced that enslaved individuals were free. The troops enforced the Emancipation Proclamation, made over 2.5 years prior. This day is a significant emancipation marker in US history.

Looking to celebrate? Here is a list of a few events happening in the Charlottesville community in celebration of Juneteenth!

This family-friendly event offered free sports physicals for students and health education resources from many community partners. The event also featured a bounce house, face painting, food, and music and dance celebrating different cultures. Thank you to the , , , , and the Thomas Jefferson Adult Career Education for making this event a success!
