Volunteer Opportunities

The Davis Center will occasionally receive information regarding volunteer opportunities in our community.  Come back to this space to see updates on how you can get involved in the greater community.

Solutions for Hometown Connections

Solutions for Hometown Connections (SLC) works with refugees and immigrants in Maryland, Virginia and Washington D.C. SHC supports individuals and their families through a network of mentors, tutors and community groups. SHC adult volunteers serve as English tutors, family mentors, or assist with our child-friendly English classes. They also have opportunities for High School students interested in tutoring young children, or who would like to support their annual school supply drive.  Learn more about their programs and how you can get involved here.

Migrant Mutual Aid Solidarity Network

This group meets buses and works to help people who are choosing to stay in the area. They vet volunteers so if you complete the form, it may take a couple of weeks before they get back to you.
