Description:

The Refugee School Engagement Program is a new program that focuses on assisting refugee parents with elementary-age children with navigating the American school system. The Refugee School Engagement Program partners with the Chin Community Center to arm parents with the understanding and tools they need to be involved in their child’s education. Volunteers will work directly with parents on the following: establishing habits of reading/exploring books together, understanding of the school system and how to communicate with their child’s teacher, training in accessing helpful online, in-school, and library/community resources, and helping them increase their involvement and confidence in assisting their child with homework. Volunteers with the program are expected to commit an hour once each week to the program.
