Q. What type of students do you serve?
A. Engaged Leaders programs are intended to serve immigrant and refugee youth. Our ideal student is newly arrived and looking for a space in school to feel like they belong and to surround themselves with a positive peer group including other students interested in becoming leaders in their community.
Q. How does a student sign up for Engaged Leaders programming?
A. Our after-school program (THRIVE Club) is open to any student currently attending one of our partner schools. Students can come to any of our meetings throughout the year (August-April). Those who want to become consistent members will need their parents and/or guardians to complete consent and permission forms.
Only students who attend THRIVE Club consistently may apply to be mentors in the THRIVE+ Mentoring program, and mentees are recommended by their teachers, as there are limited spots.
