Working at Islamic Relief Canada feels like being part of a family—one that’s friendly, motivating, team-spirited, and deeply professional. It’s a place where ideas are encouraged to grow, and every team member is genuinely valued as a vital part of the mission. What I value most about my work is the profound sense of purpose it brings—knowing that my efforts are dedicated to serving the creation of Allah and advancing a vision of a just and equitable world where no one is left behind.
Anzella Gasataya, Graphic Design Specialist, Ontario
The first time I came across Islamic Relief Canada was in 2018 while searching for ways to support Palestinians in Gaza during the Great March of Return. Since then, I’ve followed IRC and learned more about their incredible efforts in aiding communities worldwide. Joining IRC was a great opportunity to channel my creativity and skills towards a cause that I strongly support. For anyone driven by a sense of purpose and looking to be part of something transformative, working at IRC is a journey worth considering. Although the work can be challenging at times, it is also incredibly rewarding to see the positive impact of your contributions alongside sincere and like-minded people who share a common goal of creating lasting change.
Sameya Khan, Program Specialist, Ontario
What drew me to Islamic Relief Canada and continues to inspire me each day is its strong moral foundation and unwavering commitment to serving humanity with compassion and integrity. It’s a values-driven organization where I’ve had the opportunity to grow both personally and professionally, developing meaningful skills in a supportive environment. A key part of that journey has been working alongside passionate colleagues across departments and in field offices around the world, united by a shared mission. Being part of an organization that uplifts communities locally and globally has been incredibly fulfilling, and I’m grateful to contribute to work that creates real and lasting impact.
