Refugee Youth & Family Program

The Refugee Youth and Family Program serves refugee at-risk children ages 5-18 offering help with acculturation, increasing social skills, and improving grades. Students and their families receive one-on-one support from a YCI Youth Counselor who tailors a plan for success during the school year which involves assistance from a YCI state-certified teacher.

All services are free and are available in the languages spoken by those we serve.
