Volunteer
DonateNote to Prospective Volunteers
The Center for Refugee Services (CRS) supports thousands of refugees each year with a small team of paid staff and many committed volunteers. We also rely on strong community partnerships to connect our clients with the services and support they need to thrive. Our work is grounded in a deep respect for cultural diversity and a belief in the dignity of every person we serve. We serve a multi-faith community that includes all religious traditions.
We prefer volunteers who can commit to serving with us for a specific day/time each week. If you cannot make that type of commitment, we also have opportunities to volunteer at special events throughout the year. Please see below for details on volunteer opportunities. Thank you for your interest in volunteering with us!
We regularly post a list of needed items on our Facebook page.
