We are looking for bilingual and polylingual volunteers who are able to give newly arrived refugees living in Miami-Dade and Broward Counties an introductory orientation on the basics of American culture, US American customs and mores, basics of transportation, a survey of local and national institutions, and general life tips. Orientations can be done person-to-person or in groups. Volunteers will work under a CWS caseworker who will lead and guide the orientations, which are based on a CWS workbook. Volunteers should expect at least 1 to 10 refugees per session.
Workshop topics will include: immigration documents; health care documents, Social Security Cards; medical exams; military inscription; driver’s license; identification card; public transportation; employment; education; changing home address; 30 day follow-up interview; applying for residency; and becoming a US citizen.More opportunities with Church World Service

Description
CWS is a global organization that is dedicated to helping refugees around the world especially those entering the United States. Each year CWS helps families resettle to the United States, many of which are fleeing war-torn countries and political persecution. South Florida is a major destination for refugees and asylees fleeing from Haiti, Cuba, Colombia, Venezuela, The Ukraine and other places across the globe such as Iraq, Democratic Republic of Congo, and Iran. With your support we can help them start new lives here in the United States.
CWS’s South Florida offices have been providing essential refugee resettlement and immigration service since 1960. We provide year-round food and shelter, legal and immigration services, job placement, cultural orientation, tangible donations, and monetary support, out of our 3 locations located in Miami, Broward, and Palm Beach County.
Our organization welcomes all forms of groups, organizations, businesses, and religious assemblies to help us reach our vision of " working to be an effective, impact-oriented leader in refugee and immigrant protection, assistance, and integration" .
