Millions of refugee youth arrive in the United States facing overwhelming barriers to education, employment, and civic participation. Many lack access to formal schooling, job readiness training, and reliable information about their rights, responsibilities, and opportunities within American society. Language barriers, trauma, and unfamiliarity with U.S. systems further isolate them, making it difficult to integrate, succeed academically, find employment, or engage civically-including registering to vote when eligible. Our nonprofit exists to bridge this gap by providing the educational support, resources, and guidance refugee youth need to thrive and actively participate in their new communities
