Please join us at the December Donuts & Discussion to learn about the Refugee Resettlement Program.
There are now more than 68.5 million forcibly displaced people around the world. Less than 1% are resettled.
Since 1918, JFS has maintained its commitment to welcoming refugees from around the world. From the moment a refugee arrives in San Diego, our dedicated staff and volunteers work with them side by side to build stability and adjust to a new culture and way of life.
On any given day, we help families enroll their children in school; gain proficiency in English; learn to navigate banking systems, public transportation, and community resources; further their education; find permanent employment; and become contributing members of the community. Together, we empower refugees to rebuild their lives and create a brighter future for their families.
This is an opportunity to come together as one volunteer family, enjoy donuts, meet fellow volunteers, and learn more about the Refugee Resettlement's approach, impact and future volunteer needs.
