As the world’s refugee crisis continues to worsen, more and more individuals — people like you — are asking what they can do to help. You might worry that if you can’t take a trip or donate large dollar amounts, there are not many ways to help. Au contraire. There is plenty you can do, whether you have five minutes, five hours, five days or five weeks.

If you can go on a volunteer trip, please jump at that chance! They can be life-changing and soul-expanding. But you do not have to cross an ocean to find meaningful ways to serve.
