Grant Writer

Our mission is to provide a safe space and offer mental health and well-being services to refugee students and their families, in hopes to lessen the stigma around mental health.

Our volunteer opportunities are between 3 to 6-month and after you complete that set time, we perform an evaluation and decide on the next steps. You can either join as a long-term volunteer, or staff member, or part ways with organizations.
