Exodus World Service mobilizes and equips the Christian community to welcome and befriend refugees (though you do not need to be a Christian in order to volunteer with Exodus). We educate churches and individuals about the plight of refugees, connect volunteers with refugees through practical service projects, and empower people to become champions for refugees.
