***Programming has transitioned to virtual platforms due to COVID19.
Young Refugee Adults, ages 19-24, were just getting started on their cultural adjustment, career goals, and thinking of pursuing higher ed when the COVID 19 crisis in the US changed everything, for all of us. Can I still enroll in online classes? Is it safe to work in a grocery store? What do I do if someone in my family gets sick? Support a new neighbor as they navigate these decisions, provide encouragement and connect them to resources as they encounter obstacles, and share your joys and sorrows with one another. 6-12 month commitment
Meet online every week for about an hour at a time. (Meetings may be allowed in person beginning in September, if so, a coordinator will accompany you on your first visit.) Fill out Individual Service Plans with your mentee to track their goals and progress.
