Immigrant and Refugee Assistance Program Volunteer

Our organization has partnered with the International Institute of Buffalo to start multiple programs to provide educational assistance and social support to low-income immigrant and refugee persons in Buffalo. This is a very important partnership as immigrants and refugees have some of the highest drop out rates in schools across the nation.

 

We are looking for volunteers to work on these projects with us. Duties as an intern working on one or more of these projects may include the following: 

1. Work with our team and a local nonprofit to help create and enact ideas to assist low-income immigrant and refugee persons in Buffalo. 

2. Help provide bus training for immigrants and refugees in Buffalo, including a possible "field trip" day to show them how to get to and from their kids' school. 

3. Provide basic child-watching for clients of the International Institute of Buffalo while the parents complete orientation and job training. 

4. Help educate immigrants and refugees on systems in the United States, especially the education system and processes.

5. Work on a directory of culturally relevant businesses (ex. halal restaurants/markets, hijab-friendly hair salons, etc.) 

If you are interested in this opportunity, please reach out to us via email at ubhomeworkhelpers@gmail.com.

You will also help us recruit new volunteers and students and assist with our expansion to new universities. Duties may include coming up with and implementing marketing ideas, creating social media posts and flyers, managing partnerships with other nonprofit organizations, biweekly team meetings, and more. 

This is a remote and unpaid position.
