Integration Through Service: Refugees Supporting Refugees in Paris

Are you a refugee looking for a meaningful way to connect with others, give back to the community, and integrate into French society? Join our Integration Through Service program, where refugees and asylum seekers actively participate in food distribution for the homeless and other refugees in Paris.

Volunteering is a great way to practice French, meet new people, and feel a sense of belonging while making a real impact.

Every week, our volunteers gather in small teams to distribute food across different areas of Paris. No prior experience is needed, and all food is provided by Serve the City Paris. You can volunteer as often as you’d like, whether it’s once a month or multiple times a week!

Why Join?

✅ Improve your French through real-life conversations
✅ Meet locals and fellow refugees, expanding your social network
✅ Gain practical skills and experience that can help in job searches
✅ Contribute positively to your new community
✅ Receive a certificate of participation to support future opportunities

There is no cost to participate, and all new volunteers are encouraged to join a short online introduction workshop to learn more about the program and how to get started.
