Volunteersbring many assets to CRS projects. In addition to the time and direct services they provide, they also serve to connect refugees’ communities with the projects they represent. They often bridge language barriers and inform cultural considerations. They are often better positioned, as outreach community workers, to provide feedback to project staff and to advocate for their community needs. Finally, they may serve as a resource for communities long after a project is complete which enhances the sustainability of project objectives.
