Diverse Communities
Since the founding of IRCO (lCSC) in 1976, the refugee community the agency serves has continued to grow in proportion and diversity. Initially, the Asian Pacific Islander (API) community that the Southeast Asians (Vietnamese, Laotians, Cambodians) joined were largely comprised of Chinese, Japanese, Koreans and Filipinos. Today the API community is comprised of communities from every region of Asia and the Pacific Islands including but not limited to Mien, Hmong, Indians, Pakistanis, Samoans, Tibetans, and Burmese.
