The Refugee Women's Initiative (of the International Institute of MN) is looking for volunteers who are interested in partnering as a mentor with newly arrived refugees. We match women with
women, men with men, and husband/wife teams with refugee couples. Although
the Refugee Women's Initiative is located in St. Paul, we have a large
number of women in Minneapolis who are looking for an American friend and
mentor. Mentors help their friends with tasks such as filling out job
applications, looking for housing or daycare, sorting through bills and junk
mail, or finding a doctor or dentist. They may also help with tutoring
English. Or they may simply introduce them to some of the community events
and resources around the city that they may not be aware of - libraries,
museums, parks, free concerts, etc. Mentors make a committment of 6 months
and meet with their friend once a week for the first 6 weeks and every other
week thereafter. Mentor training is provided - the next training is MAY
8th. If you're interested, contact Jane Kramer, Project Coordinator at
651-647-0191 ext.348 or by email at [EMAIL PROTECTED] Thanks.
