Volunteer Opportunities

A Community Integration Partner (CIP) is a volunteer that works with World Relief clients to establish roots in the Triad through building a relationship and providing an understanding of common practices within U.S. communities.

Relationally connect with and invest in the success of refugee youth through tutoring, sharing career experience and advice, assisting with college applications, and helping youth move towards their goals.

We are always looking for individuals who are willing to provide interpretation for our clients. Our current need is volunteers who can speak Dari.

Assist the Triad office with front desk interactions and other administrative tasks.

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 (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.
