Volunteer Opportunities

Refuge International exists to glorify God by partnering with local churches to love refugees and immigrants. One of the primary ways we do this is through our ongoing ministry offerings: English Mentoring; Adopt-A-Family; Right Start; Refuge Network of English Ministries; and Conversation Club. We require a volunteer application from all individuals interested in serving in these ministry opportunities. To ensure the integrity and safety of our programs, all individuals interested in volunteering are required to complete a volunteer application.
