Join Our Volunteer Community

Refugees Helping Refugees is a largely volunteer-run organization. Because RHR is a nonprofit and receives limited funding from grants for operational and programming costs, the organization is able to offer few paid positions.

This makes the need for proactive, empowered, and passionate volunteers essential to our survival. Our volunteers are reliable and innovative, and seek to make a positive difference in the refugee and Rochester community.
