What We Do
Curriculum
Starting in 2023, One Refugee introduced a comprehensive curriculum tailored to all One Refugee students, ensuring that each individual has access to the necessary information and support required to pursue and achieve their career aspirations.
How We Do It
Academic Mentoring
1R Scholars meet with their Education Manager monthly. Monthly meeting topics include: How to succeed in college, how to prepare to find an internship, completing an internship in their field, and information about starting their professional career.
Professional Development
One Refugee works closely with 1R Scholars to develop a basic resume, to learn how to initiate informational interviews and networking opportunities, and to connect with professional mentors and internship opportunities. Career Managers develop career workshops and professional networking opportunities for the students with the help of local and national organizations.
Financial Assistance
One Refugee supports 1R Scholars with various forms of financial assistance, including but not limited to tuition, textbook fees, a laptop, mental health services, emergency housing, and citizenship.
