Since 1918, JFS has maintained its commitment to welcoming refugees from around the world. From the moment a refugee arrives in San Diego, our dedicated staff and volunteers work with them side by side to build stability and adjust to a new culture and way of life.
On any given day, we help families enroll their children in school; gain proficiency in English; learn to navigate banking systems, public transportation, and community resources; further their education; find permanent employment; and become contributing members of the community. Together, we empower refugees to rebuild their lives and create a brighter future for their families.
Under our Refugee Resettlement Program we offer multiple volunteer opportunities
Friendly Match: Help a newly settled refugee family navigate San Diego. Assist them with finding the perfect grocery store, school, bus route, and so much more! All you need is your knowledge of the area and a passion for helping those in need!
Translator: Do you speak multiple languages? Put your skills to good use! We need assistance guiding new families through the resettlement process by communicating with them in their home language.
Special Projects: Come up with ideas and projects to better engage our families in the community. Assemble workshops and host events where families can learn about employment, social skills, and better adapt to their new homes.
Administrative Support: Help out in the office with all things administrative!
