Refugee Volunteering: Cultural Mentoring & Exchange

Flexible Schedule | Denver, CO 80218

Our Cultural Mentoring and Exchange Program is a "first friend" program for newly arrived Refugee families. We match groups of 3 to 6 volunteers with a newly arrived family and ask for a 6 month commitment during which time each volunteer will spend 5 - 15 hours a month assisting their refugee family in cultural adjustment. The volunteers provide a friendly and welcoming presence as the family becomes acquainted with their new home and surroundings. Depending on the needs of the family, the volunteers will help the family with practicing their English, financial literacy/making a budget, cultural understanding and life skills, and job readiness. The first step is to attend a volunteer orientation session. You can find the dates for our upcoming training sessions listed below. For more information about this or other volunteer opportunities, or to register for an orientation please contact our Volunteer Coordinator, Chad Corman at chad.corman@lfsrm.org. All volunteers must attend both a Refugee 101 & a Cultural Mentoring/Co-Sponsorship Training. Occasionally, we need to cancel training sessions due to low registration numbers. If the training you have signed up for has been cancelled, we will notify you and invite you to register for a future session.

About Internships at LFSRM: An internship at LFSRM offers the opportunity to gain a deep understanding of refugee resettlement in the Denver area. Interns will work with individuals from diverse cultures who are forging new beginnings in the United States. Challenging, educational, and professional work experience will be gained through professional training and real work assignments that will provide valuable insight to the worlds of refugee resettlement and non-profit organizations. At times, interns will work closely with staff members, and other times independently.
