    Description

    Refugee Youth Mentor

    Partner in Employment's Refugee Youth Mentorship Program matches a community-based mentor with a newly arrived immigrant/refugee youth ages 15-24 in South King County, who will support their integration into a new country and help them thrive. In a trusting one-to-one relationship, these young people will have someone to seek advice in achieving education and career development goals, as well as fostering interpersonal skills and positive identity development. Mentors play a crucial role in youth confidence building through patience, encouragement, and dedication.

    Examples of how mentors support their mentees:

    • Providing positive encouragement and reinforcement!
    • Practicing English (HIGH NEED)
    • Building confidence through getting to know someone new, making a new friend
    • Exploring new skills, passions, and interests
    • Exploring new places in the community
    • Applying for jobs, practicing interview skills, updating resumes/cover letters
    • Tutoring for the GED program
    • High School Academic Tutoring
    • Applying for scholarships/Financial Aid
    • Learning more about post-secondary pathways
    • Learning about the banking system in the US
    • Learning about different kinds of careers
    • And much more!

    Time Commitment:

    • Must be able to meet mentee in person in South King County once per month, at locations of you and your mentee's choosing.
    • Must be able to send a text message check-in bi-weekly.
