Guest (Sign In) HOME GET INVOLVED NEWSROOM Every day, our community of volunteers from around the country dedicate their time to welcoming new neighbors and educating their community members or congregations on issues related to migration and refugees. Simply put, the work of LIRS would be impossible without volunteers. You can get involved by connecting with one of our local network partners, reaching out to migrants in detention, or hosting an event or Bible Study in your church or community.

We’ve learned so much in the way of hospitality from our new Somali neighbors. In sharing smiles and stories, food and friendship, this harsh world becomes a bit more kind and the fear of the unknown other we once had quickly dissipates.” – Lisa and Mike, volunteers in 2017-2018 Viewed 20,379 times © Lutheran Immigration and Refugee Service 2020.
