Neighbor Teams

Welcoming refugees with love and support.

What is a Neighbor Team?

Neighbor Teams are groups of 5-10 volunteers from local churches and communities. We train, equip, and support these teams to warmly welcome and effectively resettle a refugee or refugee family into our community.

One of the greatest needs for a refugee is a new community, a friend.

Refugees resettled through our Neighbor Teams are immediately offered a sense of community and an extended hand of friendship.

Signing up to be a Neighbor will open up your eyes to another culture, a special friendship, and a life changing experience for all involved.

Neighbor Teams Help With:

  • Welcoming and picking up refugees at the airport 

  • Setting up the family's apartment (furniture, utensils, blankets, etc.)

  • English language learning

  • Cultural orientation

  • Supporting access to medical, counseling, and social services 

  • Helping children enroll in a local school

  • Budgeting and personal finance

  • Friendship and community connections

  • Job application support

  • Empowering refugees to thrive independently

Neighbor Teams help Rebuild lives
