Chad Corman (he/him/his) | Volunteer & Community Engagement Coordinator for Lutheran Family Services Rocky Mountains will discuss how to become a member of the Lakewood UCC Cultural Mentoring and Exchange Team. We are looking for 6 volunteers! This is a six-month commitment in which the Lakewood UCC team will work continuously with a family that has recently arrived in the U.S. During this time the team will focus on four key points: Financial Literacy, Employment, Practical Life Skills, and Learning English. The team will work on these skills to varying degrees depending on the interests and needs of the family. There will be training.
While it is important that the volunteer team help the designated refugee family with the skills listed above, the team’s main job is to provide friendship to these new community members!
