Volunteer
Support for the Journey
Hundreds of mixed migration immigrants settle in Houston every year after fleeing persecution in their own home countries. They often arrive with little to no English, limited familiarity with U.S. culture, and no financial resources, making their journey long and full of challenges. You can help make that journey easier. Volunteer to support newcomers as they rebuild their lives and help us continue the tradition of welcoming them to Houston!
Group Volunteer Opportunities
Newcomer Arrival
Newcomer Arrival Teams set up and furnish apartments so that newly-arrived mixed migration populations have a prepared home for them when they arrive in Houston. Check out the Home Supply List to see what items are included in a home setup!
