Help newly arrived refugees obtain employment in Missoula! Employment interns teach refugees the skills to navigate the job search process and assist in the following areas: job search, job applications, follow-up on applications and interviews, new hire paperwork and assistance with transportation routes to their place of employment.

As a Refugee Support Volunteer you will be paired with an IRC Caseworker to help provide support to newly arrived refugee families. Volunteers will be assigned to one of the following specific roles: Transportation Ambassador, Grocery Shopping Assistant, Laundry Access Assistant, Child Watch Assistant, or Activities and Integration Assistant. As such, you will be expected to learn about the IRC (history, scope of work, values, etc.), our clients, and core services. All activities will be done in coordination with office staff and under the supervision of the Casework team.

The IRC in Denver is recruiting one full-time person to serve as an AmeriCorps member to provide financial literacy, financial planning, budgeting, saving, and other financial counseling education to refugee and asylee clients — all with an eye toward addressing persistent poverty and helping families build a stronger future.
