Youth Mentoring Volunteer

The International Rescue Committee in Salt Lake City’s (IRC SLC) Success Coaching & Mentoring (SCM) program is rooted in its Social Emotional Asset Development (SEAD) framework that develops social and life skills.

The goal of the Success Coaching & Mentorship is to help recently arrived refugee and immigrant young adults (ages 15-24) adapt successfully to life in Salt Lake City while providing them the tools and opportunities they need to grow in their academics, regulate emotions, and expand their social emotional skills. The Success Coaching & Mentor will help refugee students reach their goals by providing 1:1 mentorship for at least 2 hours a month for a duration of at least 9-months. Coaches also support youth’s and/or caregivers' involvement in a variety of workshops and other educational opportunities provided by IRC SLC.
