THE FEED
by Heart of West Michigan United Way (Heart of West M...) on Wednesday Dec 15th, 2010 04:30pm in NONPROFITS 
Each week the Volunteer Center highlights an exciting skill-based volunteer (SBV) opportunity found on our Volunteer Solutions website. This week's SBV opportunity comes from Lutheran Social Services of Michigan - Refugee Services (LSSM):
Out of the many challenges facing refugees as they arrive in the United States, employment may be one of the largest challenges. Although government assistance is available upon their arrival, it is not sustainable for their future. In an effort to resettle refugees with dignity and empowerment, LSSM depends on volunteers in the area of Employment Services.
Do you have an interest in seeing men and women find dignifying work here in West Michigan? Would you like to work closely with an individual to find their first job in the United States?
Whether or not you have experience in this field, LSSM would like to hear from you.
LSSM is looking for:
- Volunteers who have experience in the field of Employment Services.
- Volunteers who have no experience, but are interested in getting involved.
- Individuals with an interest in other cultures and a passion for empowering others.

As a long-time community leader, Heart of West Michigan United Way collaborates with other organizations throughout West Michigan to advance the common good - that is, to direct change and create opportunities for a good life for all who live here. We focus our efforts in three critical areas: education, income and health, which are the building blocks to a successful life. A quality education that leads to a stable job, enough to support a family through retirement, with good health at every stage. Our goal is to work toward long-lasting changes that truly make an impact. So while we support those who have fallen on hard times, we also work to identify the root causes of problems. Then we build preventative systems that keep those problems from happening in the first place.
Comments, like all content, are held to The Rapidian standards of civility and open identity as outlined in our Terms of Use and Values Statement. We reserve the right to remove any content that does not hold to these standards.
