Volunteer Opportunities: Refugee and Immigrant Services
At Inspiritus,volunteers play a vital role in helping individuals and families who are new to the U.S. build confidence, independence, and connections in their communities. Our programs are designed to respect each person’s strengths, support dignity, and comply with federal nondiscrimination laws.
Ways to Get Involved:

Afterschool Program Volunteers
Assist children and youth in Atlanta, Savannah, Birmingham, or Nashville with academic support, ESOL activities, and enrichment programs to help them succeed in school and in life.
Hope Tree for the Holidays
You can help Inspiritus provide holiday gifts for every child and adult served by Inspiritus in December of each year. Pledge to provide gifts for a certain number of people and Inspiritus will provide individual cards with the wish list of gifts for each person. Gifts are returned to Inspiritus for distribution.
Hold A Donation Drive/ Assemble Kits for LSG
Work within your community to collect furniture and household items for a newcomer’s apartment or collect supplies for Inspiritus’ Children and Youth Summer Camp and After School Programs. Collect items and assemble toiletry kits, first aid kits, or stock the pantry kits. We will provide a list of needed items for each kind of kit.
Circle of Welcome
Accompany a family on the path towards long-term integration. In teams of five to ten, support the family for one year through comprehensive engagement, assisting with ESOL, job networking and homework help, community orientation, and friendship.
