Our volunteers play a vital role in sustaining this work with refugee children and youth. Our elementary after school program provides additional academic and social support to 35 second and third grade students at Indian Creek Elementary School in Clarkston, GA. The students are predominantly from Iraq, Congo, Syria, Burma, Afghanistan, and Somalia and have lived in the U.S for less than one year. The program runs every Monday through Thursday during from October to May from 2:30 PM to 5:00 PM.
