Save to Favorites

Opportunities to help a refugee family resettle in the Indianapolis area abound! Here are just a few volunteer opportunities available:

Assist with transportation: In Indianapolis, transportation can be an obstacle to a refugee who is trying to establish employment or seek services across the city.

Volunteer drivers transport clients to their medical, welfare, and various other appointments. Exodus will work with the volunteer to minimize travel time. Volunteers can teach clients the IndyGo bus routes necessary for transportation to work or to other activities in the Indianapolis area. Volunteers are also needed to assist clients with obtaining a Driver's License by reviewing the Driver's Manual with them and practicing driving.

Requirements: Daytime availability. Reliable transportation, valid license, and auto insurance.

Set up a home: Each new family that comes through Exodus has an apartment set up for them before they arrive in the United States. The apartment is set up with a combination of donated items and purchased necessities.

Volunteers are needed to assist with apartment set-ups. Volunteers are also needed to collect or drop-off donations in the Indianapolis area. Donations may include furniture, household goods, clothing, and/or office equipment. Additionally, volunteers willing to organize or support donation drives would be of great benefit.

Requirements: Daytime availability. Ability to lift heavy items.
