How can you help?

Volunteer! The growing volunteer program at LSS-SW offers a number of different ways to contribute to this dynamic effort. The Refugee Mentorship Program matches community members with newly arrived individual refugees or families to act as mentors, teachers, and friends. Community volunteers are a crucial part of the resettlement process, as they help guide refugees through their first few months of life in the U.S.

Church Co-sponsorship - LSS-SW coordinates faith-based co-sponsorships for refugee families. If your congregation would be interested in learning more about this ministry, please contact us to arrange for a presentation.

Material Donations - Apartments for refugees are furnished and stocked with basic amenities provided almost entirely through donations from the community. You can help by donating new or gently used furniture, household goods, and personal care items.

Financial Contributions - Your contribution can make an huge difference in our ability to provide support in all forms to refugee families.

Job Development - Employment can be one of our biggest challenges, but it is also the most important factor in achieving self-sufficiency. Businesses are invited to join other Tucson employers who are willing to add refugees to their workforce.
