Career Mentor: Support a New American Refugee Youth in their Goals

Save to Favorites

ORGANIZATION: GLOBAL FC

Did you have a mentor in your life who helped you get to where you are today? Many first generation immigrant and refugee youth do not have natural mentors who can network with them and teach them how to be successful in America.

Global FC is matching refugee students with caring and professional adults who can listen, support, and provide meaningful opportunities and experience. Through the mentoring relationship, students develop and enhance the skills, knowledge, attitudes, and connections they need to effectively transition from high school into post-secondary education, trade schools, or entry-level professional success. This includes activities such as career exploration, personal evaluation of interests, aptitudes and skills, workforce opportunities, application and interviewing skills, internship opportunities, and college preparation.

Career mentors do not make decisions for the youth, but rather provide support and resources/tools for the youth's decisions and break down steps to accomplishing those goals.

Description

Global FC was founded by first generation refugee, Mariya Goodbrake, and primarily serves first generation immigrant and refugee youth in the northeast neighborhoods of Kansas City, Missouri using soccer as our tool for transformation.
