Voluntariado
Mentor an Adult Refugee
Detalhes
Descrição
Want to support refugees in your community? In the last year, RefugeeOne has welcomed over 700 refugees from all over the world to Chicago - and we need your support to help them adjust to life in their new home!
Volunteers in our In-Home Adult Mentorship program will support an adult refugee (25+) as they build a life in Chicago! You will be matched 1:1 with a recently arrived refugee to support them in their transition to life in Chicago. Mentors help with a range of things, including:
- Practicing English
- Navigating the CTA
- Developing community connections and accessing local resources
- Sharing culture and hobbies
- ...and more!
Most importantly, you'll serve as a friend and guide to a newcomer.
Requirements: Minimum commitment of weekly meetings for 6 months in client home. Both weekends & weekdays available, flexible scheduling to match your availability. No additional languages skills required.
