New American Buddy

Flexible Schedule | Syracuse, NY 13203

InterFaith Works has a program called "Center for New Americans" where we resettle New Americans into the Syracuse area. Many New Americans come from countries where the culture is vastly different than our own. A Buddy is a volunteer opportunity to help assist an individual or a family with culture, learning and creating a chance for the New Americans to connect with someone. Some tasks that may come up (please note that it will be different for each case depending on what they want to learn & experience): Trips to doctor appointments Trips to the grocery store Practicing English Field Trips that pertain to the interest of the individual or family Job Assistance School Enrollments Please note that you will also be in communication with a case worker. They can give you additional resources that would be helpful for the individual or family.

Citizenship Class Transporation Volunteer

Flexible Schedule | Syracuse, NY 13203

We host weekly citizenship classes for our clients to study for their citizenship test. Many of our clients have no or limited transportation access. The classes happen every Monday and Tuesday at our offices at 5:30pm - 7:30pm and transportation needs will happen before and after these classes. Volunteers would only need to sign up for one day unless if they had a desire or availability to do both days. A volunteer orientation and a background check will be required and hosted through the agency. A proof of license and vehicle registration will be required from the volunteer. Additionally, the agency will provide mileage reimbursements.

Donation - Clothes Hangers

Flexible Schedule | Syracuse, NY 13203

For the New Americans that we resettle, we have to provide them hangers in order to hang up their clothing. This is a donation item that is often over looked. If you have any hangers you would like to donated, please drop them off at our office. Thank you!

Reusable bags - help those in need

Flexible Schedule | Syracuse, NY 13203

We are a non-profit that addresses the needs of several community members. For example, once a month we have a diaper and child items give-away for our clients. Our clients don't always remember to bring a bag or something to carry the items in, so having extra bags for our clients to use would be really helpful. Even paper or plastic bags sitting around your house would benefit our clients. Please consider donating these items today. Interested in donating more? Contact Rhonda Butler at rbutler@ifwcny.org.
