Are you looking for a way to get hands-on experience working for a nonprofit? World Relief offers internships in many different areas including Case Management, Employment, Education, Children & Youth, Legal Services, and more.
As an intern, you will work alongside our staff to support our refugee and immigrant neighbors in accessing critical services as they seek stability and to thrive in the U.S. Interns also have the option to work in Operations, Volunteer and Church Mobilization, and other capacity-building areas.
Generally, interns must complete 100 hours over the course of their internship. Internships typically take place during school semesters/summer and range in the number of hours per week depending on an intern’s availability.

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.
