Volunteer: Practice English with Refugees

Are you interested in helping refugees? We are looking for volunteers to practice English with refugees by meeting 1 on 1. You can choose to meet in person or remotely.

CWS Durham strives to empower refugees as they resettle to their new community. This means providing them tools and resources to be successful. 1 on 1 English support is greatly needed to help refugees feel more comfortable in their new environment and greatly increases their ability to find employment. Working 1 on 1 with a refugee can help give them the confidence to practice speaking English and help you meet one of your new neighbors!

Apply by emailing Sina Naseri at snaseri@cwsglobal.org

Volunteer: Help Set up Refugee Housing

We need volunteers to gather new-home essentials like bed sheets, cleaning supplies, and cookware so that way refugees have a place to call home. We have many families arriving and need your help to get their homes ready! Many of our house set ups are taking place in Burlington, which is about 30 minutes from Durham.

After you apply, we will add you to a list of home supply volunteers. Then we will reach out to see if you are available to help in our next set up! We will then connect you with 1-2 other volunteers who are also available to help with the set up. We will probably need your help within two-three weeks of signing up, however if you are not available for a particular set up no worries, there will be more!

We will give your group a three-day timeframe to complete the set up. The timeframe is usually from Friday-Monday afternoons. All items must be placed in the unit by the deadline. You will receive instructions on how to access the apartment and a list specific to the family you will be helping.
