Our Cultural Mentoring and Exchange program gives you the opportunity to work directly with the refugees we serve. This is a six-month commitment in which you will work continuously with a family that has recently arrived in the U.S. During this time you will focus on four key points: Financial Literacy, Employment, Practical Life Skills, and Learning English. You will work on these skills to varying degrees depending on the interests and needs of the family.
While it is important that you help your refugee family with the skills listed above, your main job is to provide friendship to these new community members! We view this program as a cultural exchange, and the relationship you build with your family will be mutually beneficial.
