ORGANIZATION SUMMARY
World Relief is a global Christian humanitarian organization whose mission is to boldly engage the worlds 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.

This hybrid position strengthens integration, belonging, and empowerment for the Afghan community. The CA will work both in the office and in the community—conducting outreach, organizing culturally relevant events, and ensuring Afghan families have access to information, programs, and social services offered through World Relief and across Spokane. The CA serves as a trusted bridge between World Relief and the Afghan community by strengthening relationships, sharing resources, and building community connections.

  • Provide updates to the CA team on changing community resources that support the Afghan community.
  • Promote World Relief and partner events.
  • Participate in and help deliver group-based educational or community-building sessions (virtual or in-person).
  • Support outreach efforts for Education Center workshops and classes to strengthen attendance from the Afghan community.
  • Provide interpretation in Dari or Pashto for individuals accessing World Relief programs and services.
  • Document and record outreach, events, outcomes, and follow-up steps.
  • Attend meetings, trainings, and CA team check-ins.
  • Other duties as assigned.
JOB REQUIREMENTS:
  • Mature and personal Christian faith
  • Committed to the mission, vision, and values of World Relief
  • Desire to serve and empower the Church to impact vulnerable communities
  • Able to affirm and/or acknowledge World Reliefs Core Beliefs, Statement of Faith, Christian Identity and National Association of Evangelicals' For the Health of The Nation document
  • Experience working in multicultural settings and across language barriers.
  • Basic computer proficiency, including email, internet navigation, and Microsoft Office (Word, Excel, PowerPoint)
  • Fluency in Dari, Pashto, and English required.
  • Valid driver's license
  • Detail-oriented and highly organized.
  • Self-starter, capable of working independently and collaboratively.
