Early Learning Home Visitation

Children’s success and development start at home!

Our Home Visitation program offers individualized lessons, creative activities, and intentional goal-setting to ensure kids are ready to start Kindergarten. Our early learning staff will create connections with you and your young children to offer this support.

Visit schedules vary, depending on the preferences and needs of your family. This program is available to families in King County with children aged 2.5-5.

Refugee and Immigrant Student Engagement (RISE) Club

We provide a free after-school program at a local elementary school in North Seattle. Students can connect with the World Relief team to get help with homework, practice English, and participate in fun, academic projects. They also get the opportunity to develop a trusted relationship with mentors and peers, where they can discuss questions about school culture or share challenges they are facing in their daily lives.

Dates: October 2024 – June 2025

Schedule: Weekly on Thursdays. Transportation is provided.

For information about enrolling your student, contact us! Limited spots available!
