Volunteer Opportunity Details:

Provide crucial life-skills to our refugee clients. The financial education curriculum is provided, although you are welcome to supplement or modify it if you wish. The content is very basic (opening a bank account, budgeting, etc.) and is intended for students unfamiliar with handling & managing money.

Tasks:
-Teach a financial education class once per week.
-Keep track of your hours & submit them to the volunteer coordinator at the end of each month.

Benefits:
-Cultural enrichment.

Time Commitment:
The class would need to meet once a week. The duration of the class is negotiable and the time/day of the week the class will meet is flexible, depending on your schedule.

Since most refugees are settled in the central part of Tucson and the MRS office is located near the corner of Speedway & Stone, most volunteer opportunities take place in that part of the city.
