ORGANIZATION SUMMARY

World Relief is a global Christian humanitarian organization whose mission is to boldly engage the world’s greatest crises in partnership with the church. The organization was founded in the aftermath of World War II to respond to the urgent humanitarian needs of war-torn Europe. Since then, for 80 years, across 100 countries, World Relief has partnered with local churches and communities to build a world where families thrive and communities flourish.

Today, organizational programming focuses on humanitarian and disaster response, community strengthening and resilience, and refugee & immigrant services and advocacy.

POSITION SUMMARY:

World Relief Upstate SC is seeking a dedicated Adult Education and Volunteer Specialist to strengthen the programs and people that help newly arrived refugees and other immigrants build a foundation for lasting success. This role goes beyond the classroom, supporting adult education programming, English language training, and client social adjustment, while building the community partnerships that make this work possible. The Specialist will help clients move toward self sufficiency by improving the quality and consistency of educational services, and by connecting clients to the resources, relationships, and community they need to feel at home. This role is equally focused on our volunteers, supporting the full process from outreach and onboarding through their ongoing experience serving alongside our clients. By strengthening both programming and partnerships, this position helps ensure clients receive the education and community support they need, and that volunteers have a meaningful, well supported way to serve.

This is a limited-term position funded through a grant agreement until 1/20/27 and contingent upon funding extension.

This is a Hybrid role- 4 days in office, 1 work from home

ROLE & RESPONSIBILITIES:

• Support day to day operations of the adult education program, including class scheduling, enrollment, attendance tracking, and materials.
