Its important people understand they are never alone; there is always someone here to help you along the way. The Irish Outreach Center (IOC) is one of those places. The IOC is a non-profit organization serving the Irish community in San Diego and throughout Southern California.
“We work with many local entities to ensure the Irish are welcomed, supported in the community, and their interests and rich cultural heritage are promoted within the region. We are particularly focused on assisting new arrivals and the vulnerable and elderly in the Irish community.” - Irish Outreach
If you are an arrived immigrant, families, elderly and vulnerable, visitors and those of Irish descent, this organization is here to help.
“Our community- based organization assists with immigration, employment and legal services, pastoral care and counseling, and social integration. In striving to cultivate a vibrant community spirit, these services are complemented by a diverse program of cultural, social, and charitable events that define the holistic approach to our mission." - Irish Outreach
