Host Home Volunteers Only

If you will be serving as a Host Home volunteer (housing World Relief clients in your home), it is an Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR) requirement that host home volunteer residents ages 12+ submit proof of COVID vaccination. These records are kept confidential. If any members of your household ages 12+ cannot be vaccinated due to medical or religious reasons, we thank you in advance for choosing a different volunteer role.

Please send a photo or scan of proof of vaccination to VolunteerWesternWA@wr.org.

We are also inviting our Host Home Volunteers to complete this survey so we can get a better idea about your available space, availability and home situation.

World Relief is a global Christian humanitarian organization whose mission is to boldly engage the world’s greatest crises in partnership with the church. The organization was founded in the aftermath of World War II to respond to the urgent humanitarian needs of war-torn Europe.

Since then, for 80 years, across 100 countries, World Relief has partnered with local churches and communities to build a world where families thrive and communities flourish. Today, organizational programming focuses on humanitarian and disaster response, as well as community strengthening and resilience.

World Relief is both an equal opportunity employer and a faith-based religious organization. World Relief strictly prohibits and does not tolerate unlawful discrimination against employees on the basis of person’s race, color, sex, national origin, age, disability, genetic information, or any other characteristic protected under applicable federal, state, or local law, which does not conflict with the protections afforded World Relief as a faith-based employer.
