Volunteer Application

Volunteer Application
Please note that due to COVID-19, all of our volunteer opportunities are currently virtual and/or adhering to recommended CDC safety guidelines.
Serving our clients is our highest priority.

We strive to make the volunteer experience meaningful for everyone involved. Given the unpredictable nature of refugee resettlement, serving at CWS requires flexibility and a willingness to serve our needs at any given time. Our current needs may not coincide with your greatest interest or your availability. Volunteers are a vital part of our work, and if you are willing to jump in and join the team, please complete the following application so we can get to know you.
Ways to Serve

Virtual ESL

Partner with a newly-arrived individual or family to offer friendship and English language practice! With social distancing measures in place, it is more important than ever to support new arrivals as they get to know our community. Meetings currently take place weekly over virtual platforms between partners. Meeting times are flexible according to client and volunteer schedule. Requirements: orientation and background check, minimum three month commitment.

Welcome Team

Welcome Teams are groups of individuals that set up homes for new refugee arrivals. Groups can commit to collecting the household and furniture items themselves for the set up, OR commit to simply meeting at the apartment on the scheduled delivery day to set up the delivered items. Help us turn empty spaces into welcoming homes! Availability of Welcome Team opportunities fluctuates due to number of arrivals at any given time. Requirements: orientation and completion of required volunteer paperwork, time commitment varies based on each team's capacity.

CWS Speaker

Is your organization, congregation, business, or other group interested in learning more about refugee resettlement and ways to support our newest neighbors in Greensboro? Invite a speaker from CWS to attend your (virtual) event! We'd love to share more about our work and ways you can be involved. Contact mepoe@cwsglobal.org for more information.
