Position Description: Refugees are eligible to apply for their Permanent Resident Card, or Green Card, after living in the U.S. for one year. Filing for a Green Card is a necessary and exciting step towards becoming a United States Citizen. Completing the application without assistance can be confusing and difficult for a refugee. Green Card volunteers meet directly with clients at the office to complete applications and take the client's photograph.

Training: Green Card volunteers receive a general volunteer orientation from the Volunteer Coordinator and a Green Card training from the Immigration Services Coordinator and/or Immigration Outreach Specialist.

Supervision: Green Card volunteers will work alongside the Immigration Services Coordinator, who will be available to answer questions and review completed applications before submission to United States Immigration and Citizenship Services.

Time Commitment: Green Card volunteers are asked to volunteer at least once a month for a four-hour Green Card session, for a minimum of 4 months. Green Card sessions are held on Tuesdays from 1-5 p.m.

Location: Refugee Services is located in the Minnesota Church Center, located in 122 W. Franklin Avenue in South Minneapolis.
