Volunteer
Volunteers are essential to the fulfillment of the African Community Center's mission to help refugees rebuild safe, sustainable lives in Denver through supportive networks of people, services, and community activities. We welcome hard-working and passionate individuals who are committed to our mission and values.

Workplace Volunteer Days
Looking for a way to engage your employees in a local cause?
Join us and welcome refugees into our community by helping to prepare comfortable new homes for arriving refugee families.
Nest a Home
Making a difference starts with making a home. A new country, a new language, and empty pockets are the reality for many newly arrived refugee families. Create a fully furnished home to welcome your new neighbors to the Denver community.
A great one-time service opportunity for corporate or school groups!
First Friends
Walk alongside a refugee or a refugee family on their integration journey for a minimum of 3 months. Support them through friendship, conversational English, and integration outings.
First Friends volunteers can choose to participate as an individual or as a family.
Co-Sponsorship
Through co-sponsorship, new refugee families are paired with groups of at least 7 trained volunteers who provide clearly defined financial contributions, in-kind donations, and other support for 9 months to assist in the family’s integration into their new life in Denver.
A great opportunity for faith communities, businesses, civil society groups, and others!
Our Goal
Empower volunteers to collaborate with refugees and build a thriving, welcoming community in Denver.
