Volunteer Opportunities with World Relief

Groups only: Welcome new refugees to the community by meeting them at the airport and helping them get to their new home. Team members purchase a week's worth of groceries (from a shopping list our staff provide), purchase a culturally-appropriate ready-to-heat-and-eat meal, deliver the food and essential hygiene products to the family's temporary housing, meet the family at the airport, and take them/their luggage to their new home.

Individual opportunity: Make a 6-month commitment to provide friendship to a newly-arrived refugee. Assist with cultural adaptation and language skills, help orient them to the community, learn about their culture, and build a mutually transformative relationship.

Groups only: Gather a group of 6-10 individuals to make a 6-month commitment to walk with a recently arrived refugee family. Assist with cultural adaptation and language skills, help orient them to the community, learn about their culture, and build a mutually transformative relationship.

Academic semester, commitment, spring or fall: Build relationships with refugee and immigrant youth, working on ESL and academic support.

Academic year commitment: Assist young refugees and immigrants (15-24 years old) by helping them to identify and achieve their short-term and long-term goals.

Assist with moving furniture, preparing home goods, and setting up an apartment for a new family prior to their arrival.

When needed, host a refugee or refugee family in your home on a short-term basis, between their arrival and the preparation of permanent housing.
