Volunteer - World Relief

We all want to make a difference in the world. It’s part of how we are designed. At World Relief, we believe making a difference is a two-way street. Over the past 30+ 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 the Triad.

We are so excited to partner with you as you grow, learn, and make a difference through volunteering.

Note: As we begin to open up more in person volunteer opportunities, we are asking for masks to be worn both for the safety of our volunteers and our clients.

Good Neighbor Teams

True transformation happens through relationships. A Good Neighbor Team (GNT) is a group of 5-12 people who are passionate about showing the love of Jesus to the refugee and immigrant community here in the Triad area. A GNT is partnered with a refugee or immigrant family for a minimum of 6 months and works to assist World Relief Triad staff with various aspects of the resettlement or integration process through at least weekly interactions. A GNT is often a pre-existing small group or community group from a local Church; however, a GNT can also be any group of people that come together out of their passion for loving their neighbors.

Home Set-Up Teams

Home Set-up Teams (HSTs) offer churches or small groups a way to welcome and support refugees, immigrants and survivors as they arrive in the Triad. HSTs engage their church and community to help gather material needs for a home, then prepare, and setup the homes for a family of newcomers. Teams commit to sponsoring between 1-4 home preparations within a year. The HST and World Relief will agree on a two-month window in which the home setup will happen. As that time gets closer the team starts to gather items and once there is a newcomer family with housing secured, World Relief and the HST will decide on a final set up date. This is a great hands on service project for a group that also provides opportunity to engage the wider church and community in gathering items to bless a family who is starting over.
