MENTOR A REFUGEE YOUTH

The Refugee Youth Mentoring Program pairs a volunteer with a refugee child age 12 to 17 in one-on-one, "big brother/big sister" relationships. Mentors and mentees then meet weekly in the child's home or in the community and spend time together working on homework, exploring the city, or trying new things.

Currently this opportunity entails "meeting" with kids virtually, with the hope to eventually meet in person once it is safe. Most of the refugee families we serve live in Clarkston, Tucker, or Decatur.

Volunteer mentors commit to meeting with their mentee for at least two hours per week for one year.
