IRC offers a wide variety of volunteer opportunities for members of the community, businesses, students, retirees and groups. Whether you are interested in volunteering for a few weeks or a few months, we will work with you to identify fulfilling activities that will fit your schedule. Sample assignments include:
• Mentoring a refugee family on their journey to adjust to a new life in the U.S.
• Coaching refugees seeking employment and supporting their job search activities
• Supporting fundraising efforts by assisting with research and grant writing
• Volunteering at any of our single-day community events
• Helping staff plan special events
• Working with IRC Case Managers to provide administrative and logistical support to staff and
clients
Upcoming Orientation Sessions
• Thursday, February 11 3:30 PM - 5:00 PM
• Saturday, February 27 10:30 AM – 12:00 PM
All potential volunteers must attend a volunteer orientation and complete a background check* before IRC confirms their acceptance into the program. Once these preliminary steps are completed, we look forward to placing you into a meaningful and rewarding volunteer assignment.
All orientations take place at the IRC office, 425 East Colorado Street, Suite 550, Glendale, CA 91205.
*IRC asks all volunteers to cover the modest cost of their background check as a contribution to our organization. Should this prove to be an impediment to your application to work with us, please speak to a staff member about your concerns.
