Mentoring Refugee Women and Fostering an Entrepreneurial Mindset</a>
Mentoring Refugee Women and Fostering an Entrepreneurial Mindset

In their native country, women may have had limited access to education, they have not held jobs outside the home, and they may not even have left their homes unless accompanied by a male relative. In our program design, we have found that the most effective approach to their integration into the U.S. is to create community.

Online/On-Site Academic Support and Mentoring for Refugee Students
Online/On-Site Academic Support and Mentoring for Refugee Students

Gii team takes a multifaceted approach to supporting refugee students. They provide online and on site tutoring as well as homework support and remedial ESL training, helping students bring their skills and knowledge up to par. In the process, tutors build awareness of the behavioral expectations in U.S. classrooms, help kids retain a positive ethnic and cultural identity, and encourage them to stay engaged, all of which are essential for their integration.
