Want to help refugee youth succeed in school and excel socially? RefugeeOne has served nearly 6,000 Ukrainians seeking stability in Chicago in the past few years - and we need your support to help Ukrainian youth thrive!

Volunteers with our After-School Program support school-aged (K-8th) refugee youth alongside RefugeeOne staff. Volunteers join our program - hosted at RefugeeOne's Norridge Satellite 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 is held Tuesday & Thursday, 4:30 - 6:30pm at RefugeeOne's Norridge Satellite Office. Volunteers are required to volunteer one day per week for a full semester (Sept-Dec or Jan-Jun).

No additional languages skills required.

Interested? Connect with us on VolunteerMatch or email Volunteer Coordinator Cate at volunteer@refugeeone.org!
