Our Start

It all began with a phone call . A refugee studying at a local college was working three jobs to pay for school while living at a shelter with spotty internet service. She wanted to let her professor know that she was determined, but needed help. This was just one of the many stories we had heard before. Something needed to change.

Our Mission

We seek to facilitate refugee access to higher education by providing them with the tools, resources, and guidance to access higher education opportunities. Through a comprehensive one-stop platform, we believe we can help bring down many of the barriers in accessing college. It is our fundamental belief that education is the key to maximizing potential, fostering independence, and connecting refugees to their communities.
