The Minnesota Council of Churches Refugee Program needs volunteers to help newly arrived refugees with services such as driving, enrolling in classes, setting up apartments, welcoming at the airport, and more.  Volunteer as an individual or a group.  You can choose to work with one family for several months or join a weekly list of volunteer opportunities and respond to the opportunities that interest you.

Currently, refugees are arriving from Bhutan, Burma, Somalia, Ethiopia, and Iraq.  No special training is required - orientation is provided by Refugee Services.  Extend Minnesota hospitality to our new residents.  Contact Kristin at 612-870-3600 to learn how to get connected.
