Volunteers may work in:
- refugee camps,
- urban centres,
- resettlement programs,
offering language lessons, vocational training, medical care, psychological support, and advocacy services.
Programs often require a minimum time commitment, and while some roles need specific skills, many opportunities are open to general volunteers. Cultural sensitivity and adaptability are important as volunteers work with people from diverse backgrounds who have faced trauma.
These initiatives operate in regions with high refugee populations, including parts of Europe, the Middle East, Africa, and Southeast Asia.
