The Immigrant & Refugee Ministry will be taking on a new immigrant accompaniment program, an initiative which provides a way to walk with our immigrant sisters and brothers and show support as they go through their immigration process. Accompaniment teams help our immigrant neighbors navigate a difficult and confusing immigration system by providing transportation, translation, and community support as they attend required check-ins with immigration enforcement.
The IRM is currently seeking volunteers. Register as an IRM Volunteer HERE and be sure to check the box for “accompaniment program.” No foreign language required and commitment is flexible. Once you register, they will follow up with you about further training. They are also seeking a part-time Accompaniment Coordinator to organize and train volunteers: https://careers.archstl.org/job/St-Louis-Coordinator-MO-63118-1002/1238169100/.
