Service
IRC Cares was founded in 2007, as part of a club-wide initiative to raise money for various pressing international concerns. Every year the club chooses a new NGO (non-governmental organization) to support, fundraising throughout the year in creative and innovative ways – such as a silent auction of members’ international photos which have been professionally developed. Here are the organization that the International Relations Club has been proud to support. Click on the links to learn more about each organization and how you can help!
