Employ or House a Refugee
Can you Offer Employment?
The refugees and asylum seekers we work with are required to become self-sufficient in a relatively short period of time. If you have a lead on a job that a refugee may be able to do, please contact us.
House a Refugee or Asylum Seeker
We are always looking for suitable and affordable housing for the refugees and asylum seekers we are welcoming to our community. Refugees have funds to cover rent; even so, rent needs to be relatively low-cost. if you have information about housing opportunities in Eugene and Springfield for refugees, asylees, and asylum seekers, please contact us.
Your eyes and ears out in the community about the rental market are really appreciated. Thank you!
While the Refugee & Immigrant Services Program goes through staff transitions, we are temporarily pausing new volunteer intakes through the Refugee Resettlement Coalition website. Please check back on or after 12/15/2025 for updates.
Specific volunteer asks may continue to be published in the Refugee Resettlement Coalition monthly newsletter. If you are not yet subscribed, we invite you to fill out the form at the bottom of our homepage!
Volunteers are key to our work. Welcoming, advocating for, and walking alongside newcomers effectively involves the whole community, not just one or two organizations. We greatly appreciate your interest in supporting refugees and immigrants here in Lane County, and hope to connect with you once capacity allows.
If you are looking for other ways to provide support while volunteer intakes are on pause, we invite you to:
- Consider donating to the Refugee & Immigrant Services Program
- Support your local food networks (food pantries, little free pantries, etc.) to help those impacted by loss of SNAP eligibility
