About this program
Youth-driven mentoring and leadership development program which employs and trains first and second generation refugees and immigrants as facilitating mentors to engage youth as leaders and immerse them in community life!
Young Community Builders (YCB) is an after school enrichment and mentorship program which serves low-income youth ages 6-14 years old.
While in YCB, students are engaged by staff and mentors who look like them, speak their languages, and can relate to their unique experiences of being from refugee and immigrant households. Students also build community with one another through exciting team-building and enrichment activities such as: Mindfulness, Cooking/ Baking, Science Experiments, student selected field trips, and community service projects.
To sign your student up for YCB, please fill out the registration form. For assistance, contact the Program Coordinator Hillal Nor at hillal@celebratingroots.org or 425-961-2548
