Young refugees are individuals who have fled their home countries due to conflict, persecution, or natural disasters. Despite facing challenges, they are often resilient and determined to rebuild their lives. It is important to support and empower them, and provide them with the resources and opportunities they need thrive.

Our Impact

PROVIDING A NEW BEGINNING

Basic necessities such as food and clothing will be provided as part of the homing process for refugees. We offer assistance with locating work, registering for schools, and picking up the local language.

Intergating into american life

For refugees, trying to integrate into American life can be a difficult process because they frequently encounter language and cultural barriers in addition to the trauma of displacement. Sports and activities are a really helpful, because they help refugees by getting involved with the community.
