Volunteer with Us

Make an Impact

The Power of Volunteers

  • Resettlement is isolating. Volunteers build relationships that help while refugees adjust.
  • Assisting with sewing or English language learning, resume preparation, and mock interviews, equips Associates for success.
  • Assistance with tasks from pinning to filing helps keep us lean and efficient so more resources can be dedicated to programs.

Groups

Groups of school and corporate volunteers can chip in to make a big impact in a small amount of time. Most opportunities are Monday-Thursday 9am-3pm. Interested? Email info@vickerytrading.org for more information.

Volunteer Opportunities

  • Please note: all volunteers except event volunteers must complete an application, video orientation, and background check. Spring 2027 classes will occur between January 19 and May 13. And appointments may also fall outside of those dates. See opportunities below.
