Help Refugee Youth Feel At Home

At Home Humanitarian is a grassroots effort focused on helping refugee youth and young adults feel "At Home" while providing U.S. residents with "At Home"
humanitarian opportunities. We match refugees with mentors and provide additional extracurricular opportunities to help refugees connect to their communities.
Main goal right now is to match mentors with a nearby refugee (if you reside in Northern California) who you'll be able to help in a myriad of ways. Mentors are required to spend 5-10 hours a month with their mentee (in which they travel to the mentees' home) and connect with them at least once a week. Mentors can serve as a family, couple, duo, or individual right within your very communities.
Mentors serve in the following ways:
Help answer any questions relating to American culture, customs, processes, laws, or community resources that would help their mentees feel more connected.
Help mentees find solutions to needs such as finding a job, preparing for college, filing for FAFSA, fixing a car, or passing a driver's test.
Provide opportunities to get out, explore surroundings, make new friends, or learn a new skill or hobby.
We're currently partnered with Catholic Charities of Santa Clara and are actively providing their unaccompanied refugee youth and young adults with mentors and extracurricular opportunities.
Second goal is to raise funds so we can continue matching as well as fund community acculturation events in which refugee youth, young adults, and their families, along with local residents come together to learn, heal, explore, and connect.
Please donate to help us keep up the momentum!
Obligatory clause: At Home Humanitarian is not yet an NPO and as such any donations given at this point will not be tax-deductible.
Still reading? Here's a quick recap:
1) Refugee youth need your help.
2) Through At Home you can help give them some of the very opportunities you've been afforded.
3) Donations will help fund the community acculturation events (based in Northern California) and refugee matching efforts.
4) Donations may also go toward providing extracurricular grants for activities of the refugee's choice (i.e. school soccer team, band, art lessons, etc.)
5) Apply to volunteer today!
