Working together to empower refugees
PAIR:
Partnership for the Advancement & Immersion of Refugees provides
educational and informational services to refugees in Houston, Texas.
Founded in January of 2007, PAIR has quickly assembled a network of
committed volunteers and partnering organizations to assist young
refugees in our community in achieving cultural inclusion, academic
success, and self-reliance. PAIR improves the lives of refugee youth
through mentoring, tutoring, and college counseling programs. By connecting them with successful college
students and other volunteers PAIR encourages learning, fosters
academic success, and promotes higher education. PAIR is dedicated to making a difference in the lives of
young refugees by expanding their educational opportunities.
PAIR
has created an environment that informs and inspires young refugee
students facing challenging cultural and educational adjustments in the
United States. In addition to serving as an important resource for
refugees in Houston, PAIR has given over 100 college student volunteers
the opportunity to go “beyond the hedges” and
contribute to the Houston community in ways they never thought
possible.
