Provide Mentoring or ESL to a Refugee Family (Individual or Partner Opportunity)
Many refugee families arriving in the United States request mentors to help guide them through cultural adjustments, provide friendship in a new country, and teach English as well as help them practice English with a native speaker. Exact needs may vary case-by-case.
Activities will most likely happen in the home of the refugee family in Kent county.
This is a wonderful opportunity to provide direct care to - and build a friendship with - a refugee family creating a new home in our Michigan community.
*Background checks and training are required to volunteer directly with New American families.
