Program Summary: The Family Literacy class is a space for Afghan mothers and children ages 0-5 to engage in both separate and collaborative learning, increasing access to education and improving mental and emotional health through supportive community. Our unique curriculum equips moms with knowledge and skills to navigate American systems and norms, and empowers these moms to be their children’s first teacher at home. First, mothers focus on English class while children enjoy Kindergarten-readiness activities in neighboring rooms. Then, everyone comes together to practice songs, games, and activities related to the lesson. Parents can repeat class activities with their children at home to promote learning for both parents and children.
Regular Volunteer Role: You are invited to play, laugh, sing, craft, dance, and more, engaging in the vibrant work being done in our preschool classroom. Volunteers support set-up, planned activities, and clean-up, and befriend individual students as they navigate our classroom and their new lives in the U.S. Opportunities to support short field trips to local outdoor areas may be available.
- Commitment: At least once a week, for at least 3 months

Mission Statement
World Relief is a Christian organization that helps refugees fleeing political, social and religious persecution begin new lives in the Seattle area. Our mission is to empower the Church to serve the most vulnerable. Our vision is to see refugees become fully-functioning, integrated, and vibrant participants in society by helping them conquer the many hurdles along that path.
Description
World Relief works with volunteers, local churches, the community, the U.S. Department of State, and other NGOs to help refugees begin new lives in the Puget Sound area. Our goal is for refugees to become self-sufficient by empowering and aiding them in their journey of building a new life in America. Under a federal contract, we provide casework time, English language instruction, and job placement assistance, among other services. In the past year, we've welcomed more than 800 refugees to Seattle from countries as diverse as Burma, Iraq, Bhutan, Somalia, and Eritrea.
With World Relief's services and the help of a local volunteer network, these newcomers are able to build peaceful and productive new lives in America.
