This seems potentially dangerous to me. As someone with experience dealing with refugees, they often go through untold horrors in their journey. They often need counselling, friendship, purpose (often in the form of employment). It's good that they have this "refugee buddy" concept but it's not clear to me from their website if there is adequate support for the volunteer if they have to deal with these needs.
Each volunteer should consider carefully if they are able to meet these needs and fill these roles (triply so if you have children).
If everything works out, this could be very rewarding for everyone. If not, it could be catastrophic.
