Volunteering with Refugees

Join us and welcome refugees!

Volunteers are at the core of welcoming refugee families and helping them feel at home in Oklahoma City. From mentoring newly arrived families, to running in-kind donation drives for a specific family due to arrive, to mentoring a young person, to teaching English and work skills in the classroom – volunteers make resettlement possible at every level. To individual refugees and refugee families, volunteers make a life-changing impact. Join us to welcome refugees to OKC.
