Our Crowdfunding Groups
We are social work students at Northern Kentucky University!
We are raising money for the College & Career Readiness Program with RefugeeConnect, a non-profit agency serving Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky. Our fundraising goal is $3,700!
Your donations will help refugee youth in their years beyond high school. The College & Career Readiness Program supports refugees in securing employment, paid internships, access to college, joining a trade, or enlisting in the military. One-on-one coaching is provided to refugee high school students to help them fill out their college applications, apply for scholarships and financial aid, tour potential colleges, and locate community resources.
The program is SO important because many refugee parents are unsure of how to help their children navigate the process of applying for college, financial aid, etc., leaving youth in the dark about next steps. Having someone knowledgeable to guide the students is invaluable. Refugees had to work extremely hard to flee their homeland due to persecution, wars, and other dangers. Now they are here in America and ready for a better life.
We can be part of support for refugee people’s Hope Beyond Borders through RefugeeConnect’s College & Career Readiness Program, giving students one-on-one coaching on career pathways, assistance with college and scholarship applications, and resume building. So far, 100% of students enrolled in the program graduated from high school! Your donation keeps this program alive and students successful.
Your generosity today is an investment in their tomorrow and Hope Beyond Borders.
