​

Rochester Global Refugee Services is a largely volunteer-run organization. Because RGRS is a nonprofit and receives limited funding from grants for operational and programming costs, the organization is unable to offer paid positions. This makes the need for proactive, empowered, and passionate volunteers essential to our survival. Our volunteers are reliable and innovative and seek to make a positive difference in the refugee and global community.
