Volunteer Opportunity Details:

Refugees are people who have fled their home country for a legitimate fear of persecution based on race, religion, nationality, membership in a particular social group, or political opinion. We help refugees build new and independent lives in Indianapolis by providing their basic needs and the tools needed to become self sufficient. We work with people from all over the globe including Africa, the Middle East, Asia, and Europe. We are currently looking for volunteers to become part of a pool of drivers to transport clients to necessary appointments (medical or other social services) and on errands. The schedule is irregular, but most appointments fall during the day, Monday through Friday.

Potential volunteers must have an open mind, cultural sensitivity, and patience. All volunteers will participate in a one-time training session and receive a volunteer handbook.
