Volunteer
Volunteer to support newcomer refugee individuals and families, as they rebuild their lives with support from CWS. CWS Northern California provides direct services to groups of hundreds of refugees annually and volunteer support is beneficial for client integration. Refugees are resettled into our communities with minimal English training, limited familiarity with U.S. culture, and limited financial resources. Their resettlement process is complex, but CWS Northern California hopes to relieve this pressure through support and a path to self-sufficiency. Volunteers also help assist in this process though individual and group opportunities!
