Want to help refugee youth succeed in school and excel socially? In the last year, RefugeeOne welcomed over 700 refugees from all over the world to Chicago - and we need your support to help refugee youth thrive!
Volunteers with our After-School Program support dozens of school-aged (K-8th) refugee youth alongside RefugeeOne staff. Volunteers join our program - hosted at RefugeeOne's Main Office - one day per week to:
- Help students with homework
- Provide 1:1 English practice
- Facilitate activities and games
- Support staff in ensuring a safe environment
After-School Program runs Monday - Friday, 4:00 - 6:30pm at RefugeeOne's Main Office. Volunteers are required to volunteer one day per week for a full semester (Sept-Dec or Jan-Jun).
Interested? Connect with us on VolunteerMatch or email Volunteer Coordinator Cate at volunteer@refugeeone.org!
