Refugee Services
Employment Services
Refugees and other immigrants bring incredible skills and experience with them to the United States from their home countries and are often eager to find a job to support their families as soon as they arrive. Finding employment in the United States, however, can be an overwhelming challenge and an uphill battle for many.
Unfortunately, immigrants often face challenges adapting their skills to the US workforce and the barriers to entry can be significant - whether due to language, education or cultural obstacles.
We equip refugees and immigrants with the skills needed to enter the workforce. We walk alongside our clients as they go through the job process, including resume building, interview preparation, job placements and employee expectations. We also partner with a vast network of employers who value the experiences of immigrants.
If you are interested in volunteering with our employment program or if you are an employer (or know of an employer) looking for motivated and reliable employees, please contact Jason Chavez at jchavez@wr.org.

Today there are over 80 million people around the globe who have been forced, or made the painful choice, to leave their home. Threatened by extreme poverty, violence, and oppression, they leave behind everything familiar to seek a life free from fear.
Thousands of these refugees, asylees and other immigrants in vulnerable situations come to the United States every year seeking a place to rebuild their lives.
And together, we can help.
Creating a Community of Belonging
At World Relief, we partner with the local church and hundreds of individual volunteers to assist newly arrived families in the United States. Since World Relief launched national resettlement services 40 years ago, we’ve welcomed nationally over 294,000 refugees to the United States in partnership with the U.S. Department of State, and have served over 125,000 other immigrants by providing vital services and community connections.
Whether it’s securing housing, supplying basic necessities, or enrolling children in school, we come alongside these families every step of the way as they begin on the path to belonging.
“We cannot fulfill our mission without the partnership of local churches, and we’re eager to engage local churches in each of these new communities as we begin refugee resettlement.”
-Myal Greene, President and CEO of World Relief
