Scene 1: A New Chapter Begins

Imagine starting your day knowing your work directly helps refugee youth (ages 15–24) build new lives, achieve educational goals, and find meaningful community connection. You’re not just filling out forms—you’re building futures.

Scene 2: Meeting Potential

You meet with young people and their families, conduct thoughtful in-person intakes, and begin mapping a plan: college, careers, leadership training. You spot potential where others might see barriers.

Scene 3: Matching Change-Makers

You recruit and match volunteer mentors. You run training sessions that inspire. You facilitate ongoing mentor-mentee relationships—monitoring, checking in, guiding both sides of the connection.

Scene 4: Building Community

You design monthly workshops with purpose:

• How to apply for college

• Financial literacy for young adults

• Exploring job readiness and vocational training
  You partner with schools, local orgs, and employment teams to deliver impactful, engaging events.

Scene 5: Data with a Soul

Yes, there’s reporting—intake forms, goals tracking, and data entry. But it’s more than numbers. It’s measuring the real-life transformation of youth who now see a future they never imagined.

You bring:

• A bachelor’s degree in social work, education, or similar

• Experience working with youth, case management, or refugee communities

• Strong communication, organization, and presentation skills

• A valid driver’s license and reliable transportation

• Fluency in Dari, Pashto, Urdu, Spanish, or Arabic is a huge plus
