The People Behind the Impact

"The world works better when we support each other, when we learn from each other, and when we connect with each other! RICS has given me this opportunity to help the world work better."
-Lenni, RICS Volunteer since January 2025

"As you begin to know your first participants(s), you will be appreciated and drawn in, not just for sharing a skill or knowledge you have, but because you are sharing your life with them and welcoming them as full members of the Spokane community. And that will feel joyful."
​-Karl, RICS Volunteer since August 2024

"[Before becoming a volunteer] I read a lot about history and current events. One lesson has really stuck out to me: Anyone can become a refugee or migrant. The suffering that people endure as a result of forced displacement should never be experienced by any human being. If I were in that situation, I would want the citizens of my new country to welcome me with kindness and love."
-Katie, RICS Volunteer since October 2024 

"Volunteering with RICS has been really special. It has provided me an opportunity to grow not only professionally, but personally. It has also given me more perspective about those who give up their entire lives to come to Spokane to be safe."​
- Karen, RICS volunteer since January, 2022

"As the granddaughter of refugees that found safety and opportunity in this country - I feel fortunate to play a small role in welcoming others. "
-Diana, RICS Volunteer since 2022

“I love volunteering with RICS Kids Connect after school and summer program.  I especially like getting to know the other teen girls the same age as me and learning what it is like for them to start school and learn a new language after having to leave their home, while also trying  to help them adjust to life in a new place.”
-Naomi, RICS Volunteer since 2023
