World Relief is a faith-based organization that stands with and serves vulnerable people groups all over the world. In the US, we focus on helping refugees who come through the federal resettlement program. At the Chicago office, volunteer ESL tutors help out on a one-to-one basis at a refugee family's home. Tutors are required to: *Attend a volunteer orientation at our office *Attend 2 Literacy Works ESL Trainings *Commit to tutoring their in-home student 2 hrs once a week, for a minimum of 4 months *Give consent to a Criminal Background Check *Help their student obtain a Chicago Public Library card We do not expect all volunteers to self-identify as Christians, but we desire to communicate clearly our values as a Christian organization. Please see our Mission Vision and Values statement to see how you as a volunteer can join us in helping people in the margins! This project was made possible by a grant awarded by the Illinois State Library (ISL), a division of the Office of Secretary of State, using state funds designated for literacy.

Mission Statement
At World Relief Chicagoland, we come alongside refugees and other immigrants in vulnerable situations as they rebuild their lives in the United States. For over 40 years, we’ve been welcoming immigrants and refugees across Chicagoland, starting with refugee resettlement in Chicago and DuPage County (1979), and later in Aurora (1999). For decades, we have empowered churches, community organizations and people like you to adapt to the challenges of the moment for the sake of refugees. As needs have increased in recent years, we have expanded our work beyond refugees to include all immigrants in vulnerable situations. Today, World Relief Chicagoland is part of a national network of offices through which over 400,000 immigrants and refugees have been welcomed into this country.
Description
Our work consists of refugee resettlement, community-based ESL (English as a Second Language), mental health services, and immigrant legal services, employment counseling, and more. We work with volunteers from all walks of life from college students to retirees. If you want to help the refugees and immigrants in your community, we can help you connect with them.
