About Interfaith Partnership for Refugee ResettlementWe are people of many faith communities who have joined together to resettle a refugee family in the Newtown, CT area. Our volunteers include those both affiliated and unaffiliated with the partner faith communities. Working closely with IRIS (Integrated Refugee & Immigrant Services), we co-sponsor refugee families upon their arrival to the United States. We are committed to helping each family learn English, procure employment, enroll in school and become productive and independent community members.
Volunteer OpportunitiesVolunteering with IPRR is a great way to assist people who are beginning brand new lives in our country. There are many ways in which you can help.
