Help refugee youth navigate their new communities as a mentor! Mentors will help their mentees with professional development, academic guidance, and civic engagement.
The MYVA program liaisons pair volunteers with one of our clients to work on school and civic-minded projects more intensively and build a personal relationship while helping refugees between the ages of 15 and 24 years of age achieve their goals! It addresses youth's social, community, educational, and vocational goals. You will transform a young person's life and build relationships that will last. We prefer a six-month commitment. This program covers multiple locations across the Diocese. Our sites cover; Arlington, Manassas, Woodbridge, and Fredericksburg areas.

The mission of Catholic Charities of the Diocese of Arlington is rooted in the Gospel of Jesus Christ and the official teachings of the Roman Catholic faith. The Gospel proclaims and the Church teaches respect for the dignity and sanctity of human life, from the moment of conception through natural death, and the duty to serve the most vulnerable of God’s people. Therefore, Catholic Charities seeks to implement the Church’s mission of social justice in the Diocese of Arlington in ways that strengthen individuals, families, and communities. Catholic Charities extends its services and resources to all in need; convenes the Catholic community to fulfill the Church’s mission of social justice; and advocates for social justice and seeks to empower others to do the same.
