You are needed
Thank you so much for your interest in helping refugees in our area.
Donate
LexRAP helps refugees, asylum seekers and unaccompanied minors find a stable life in our community. We work with families and individuals one by one, with direct contact, helping them build a support network in the community in which they live.
Some examples of how your donations will help are by funding educational and vocational training and by providing summer camp opportunities for young people, and by subsidizing ongong housing costs. LexRAP is a Lexington-based 501(c)(3) non-profit organization and 100% of your charitable donations are tax deductible.
Sustaining donations are a wonderful way to support this work. They provide a regular, dependable source of income so LexRAP can budget more realistically. For you, the donor, it automates the process and by donating a reasonable amount each month, you will hardly notice it in your monthly budget. LexRAP will honor sustaining donors annually for their generosity.
Sustaining monthly donations will be processed by PayPal.
Email Peggy Shukur with any questions you may have about your donation.

Volunteer
Thank you for your interest in volunteering for LexRAP! To start the process, please fill out our Volunteer Form by clicking here. Submitted forms go to the LexRAP Volunteer Coordinator, who reviews the form and works with lead coordinators for the families we support to determine whether there are any volunteer opportunities for you.
Our volunteer needs change frequently but we typically need volunteers to help in such areas as tutoring, mentoring, ESL, college applications, job training, financial management, helping at community dinners, organizing coat drives, organizing laptop donations, driving to medical appointments, drivers training, fundraising, and grant writing.
Please note that, per a policy adopted by the LexRAP Board in September 2021, all volunteers who work with LexRAP must undergo a Massachusetts Criminal Offender Record Information (CORI) check. After you fill out the form and when there is a volunteer opportunity for you, the LexRAP Volunteer Coordinator will ask you to fill out and sign a CORI Acknowledgement Form to authorize a CORI check. In addition, all LexRAP volunteers must be vaccinated against the COVID-19 virus.
