Refugee and Immigrant Youth Programs

At World Relief, our desire is to see youth and families flourish and reach their fullest potential, despite early obstacles they may face upon immigrating. 

We work to facilitate the healthy integration of immigrant youth into life in the United States by helping children, youth, and their families navigate U.S. schooling and educational opportunities. Our work helps strengthen the connection between youth and their parents with their teachers and Schools. 

World Relief Durham Refugee and Immigrant Youth Programs include the following:

Volunteer With our Children & Youth Programming

Refugee and other immigrant youth often face significant challenges as they reestablish community, adapt to U.S. culture, and adjust to new educational environments. The support of mentors and volunteers can help mitigate these obstacles, and we’d love to have you join us! We are currently seeking transportation support, tutors, mentors, and more!

 

Youth Mentorship

Connect with refugee youth ages 15-24 to help them identify and meet goals as they navigate high school and transition into the work force or higher education.  Fill out this interest form for more information.

RISE Camp

"Our youth at World Relief just need an anchor, a support system. We want to be a part of the system that immigrant youth can grow up with so that they know they always have a safe space in their schools, in their communities and in the U.S. as a whole.
