Refugee Resettlement Housing Setup

Ensure that refugees’ homes are set up and ready to welcome them upon their arrival. This includes moving furniture and other household items into an apartment or house, putting together furniture and other household items so they are ready to go upon clients’ arrival. 

Commitment: On-call/as needed. Typical housing setup takes approximately 4 hours – half a day with most shifts during weekday business hours. Due to the nature of the housing market and short notice we receive before families arrive, it is often difficult to schedule housing setups more than a few days in advance.  Last-minute emails requesting volunteers is the norm. 

Additional Requirements: Ages 16 and older to volunteer on your own. Ages 12-15 with an adult
