Volunteer

Jonathan House is a community of shelter, hope and healing where forcibly displaced people and their American neighbors thrive together. We invite you to join us!

Group Volunteer Opportunities

  • Form an Accompaniment Team: Our flagship volunteer program! Teams of 3-5 people, usually from the same church, surround a resident or family with both social and practical care for a minimum of 1 year.
  • Organize a Supply Drive: Gather supplies needed to support the daily life of asylum-seeking neighbors.

Individual Volunteer Opportunities

  • Fellowship: Join our mailing list for come-as-you-can invitations to community meals, recreational outings, and group volunteer events.
  • Help Residents with Practical needs: While most day-by-day support comes from accompaniment teams, individual volunteers fill in wherever help is needed.
  • Provide Legal Help: Immigration law is complicated, and legal help is very hard to access! We’re looking lawyers willing to provide pro-bono immigration representation as well as lay people familiar with the immigration legal system and willing to help on a pro se basis.
