Newly arrived refugees are required to attend a variety of medical and social services appointments. Our Case Staff needs volunteers to help with transportation to bring our clients from their homes to appointments at nearby social services and doctor's offices.
Please apply at our website: http://carolinarefugee.org/volunteer/
Appointments are Monday-Friday during business hours. If you have a valid NC Driver's License and the availability during the work week, Carolina Refugee Resettlement would love to have you join our team to assist refugees with their transportation needs as they begin their new lives in the United States.

Description

We furnish apartments and stock them with food so that once our caseworker meets the refugees at the Charlotte airport, they have a home. They receive help registering their children for school and obtaining Social Security cards and are able to attend classes for English as a Second Language (ESL). Our employment counselor endeavors to find them work. Clients are also provided with employment services, cultural orientation classes, and medical case management.
