Refugee & Immigration Services: How You Can Help
Along with donations, the Refugee and Immigrant Services program also
appreciates the gift of time. There are numerous volunteer
opportunities for you or your church group to assist refugees in English
acquisition, transportation, or community orientation. Please see the
following volunteer descriptions and volunteer application.
Assist refugees in improving their English comprehension, speaking and writing skills.
Interpreters and Translators
Volunteers fluent in English and Thai, Burmese, Russian, Turkish, Somali,
may assist refugees to effectively communicate with Refugee Services Staff,
community service providers, medical care providers, and co-sponsors.
Teach refugees finance skills including currency, basic math, budgeting, writing checks, banking, etc..
Befriend a refugee individual or family and help them adjust to life in the United States. The goal is to provide them with necessary information and orientation to their community as well as companionship.
Assist refugee children with their homework since many of them have not received good education in refugee camps.
