JRS Ireland seeks to contribute to integration by organising one-to-one English language classes, by providing information to migrants on their employment rights and by assisting teachers and international students and parents through our schools integration programme.
JRS Ireland visits people who are detained in prison under immigration related provisions, provides assistance for people post-release, organises training for detention visitors, and advocates for more just detention policies, in particular, recourse to non custodial alternatives to detention.

JRS Ireland develops resources in response to needs on the ground. As part of our School Integration project we have developed a Resource Folder for teachers and a Guide to the Education System for migrant parents. Each year we publish an Intercultural and Interfaith Calendar that celebrates diversity in Irish society.
