Asylum seekers have a lot of needs (housing, health, mental health resources, etc.), but navigating resources when you are new to a country can be very challenging. Volunteers are needed to make phone calls to area service providers and update our referral lists for our asylum clients. We will provide a script, list of agencies, and an office space for the volunteer to work in, along with basic instructions, supervision, and support.
Timeframe: During The Advocates' business hours of 8:30am to 5:00pm
Location: The Advocates' office, 330 2nd Avenue South Suite 800, Minneapolis, MN 55401.
