Youth Mentoring Program
Upon resettlement, refugee youth are often burdened with navigating language and social barriers while trying to catch-up on their education. Understanding their options for further education or career pathways can be a challenge. The YMCA International Services and PAIR have partnered to match mentors with refugee youth to share career knowledge, facilitate skill development, and otherwise support refugee youth as they navigate school and career exploration.
Current Needs:
Weekly mentoring at Sharpstown High School for 9th-12th grade students
Monthly mentoring for young adults exploring college or career paths
