Over the past 40+ years, we've been guiding people like you to volunteering in ways that make a lasting impact. You can bring your gifts, abilities and interests, and World Relief will help you connect and walk alongside families and individuals as they rebuild their lives in Texas.

"This amazing opportunity to talk with and mentor the youth, who are at such a critical stage in life, make good, wise, and godly choices to avoid making choices that will lead them down paths of hurt and despair. Serving with World Relief can only be described as outstanding. With a heart of gratitude, appreciation, and with many prayers, I can only think that the heart of Jesus is smiling down on you and all who serve with you."

- Dave, Volunteer

"My family went to serve to get out of ourselves and into others. Quite the reverse occurred. These incredible children have helped us far more than we can ever repay with their unconditional acceptance and love. I watch my teens, and the refugee kids find their value in Whom (our Heavenly Father)they belong, rather than things of this world. We are all very different, yet we belong to one kingdom, and all desire to be seen and valued. My takeaway is surrendering in service to others in His name brings unexpected gifts that we could never receive on our own."

-Cori, Volunteer

"I volunteer because I love getting to know the students more deeply and having the opportunity to serve others."
