Family Liaison Volunteers

At the heart of our Asylum Support program, Family Liaisons work with asylum seeking families and individuals to help achieve self-sufficiency and belonging in their new communities. Spanish or use of translation apps desirable. With weekly & monthly check-ins, and support from our staff and volunteer teams, the family liaison helps clients connect to resources, navigate the legal system, and attain secure housing, employment, training, and education. 

​

Often the first long-term, reliable, and meaningful connection an asylum seeker has in their new community, this impactful role enriches the lives of our volunteers too: 

"I knew I was making a difference when I can see how settled and comfortable the family feels. Having to leave everything behind and move far away is traumatic, and it's good to see their resilience." - Therese, Family Liaison Volunteer

" I have received untold satisfaction in seeing how proactive my family is and then, when they need some assistance, they allow me to contribute!" - Ella Joan, Family Liaison Volunteer

"ABQ FaithWorks has been helpful to my friend in the following ways:

  1. Food Boxes

  2. Furnishing an apartment

  3. Providing cookware..."  - Bill, Family Liaison Volunteer
