NE
YAPARIZ.
REACH modeli , mülteci gençler arasında liderliğe, akademik başarıya ve bağlantılara ilham vermek için deneyimsel öğrenmeyi, pozitif genç gelişimi, ekoterapiyi ve açık havada eğitim ilkelerini uyarlar.
METODOLOJİ .
Uygulamamız, mülteci gençlerin yeni anavatanlarıyla güçlü bağlar kurmalarını destekleyerek kültürel kimliklerini güçlendirme ve deneyimlerini başkalarıyla paylaşma fırsatları sunarak kültürleşme geçişini kolaylaştırıyor. Dirençliliği teşvik eden bağlamsal öğrenme programlarının uygulanmasıyla REACH, yeni gelenlerin yeni topluluklarının yapısına entegre edilmesine yardımcı olur. Mülteci ve göçmen politikalarında ve desteğinde tekrar eden değişiklikler, mülteci gençlerin ve ailelerinin entegrasyon ihtiyaçlarını ele alma çabalarımızı daha da önemli hale getiriyor. Çalışmamız, genellikle mülteci gençlerin ve ailelerinin sahip olduğu marjinal statüden bir değişimi teşvik eden sosyal sermayeyi geliştirmeye odaklanıyor.

REACH, özünde insanları daha geniş bir destek ağına bağlamakla ilgilidir. Uzmanlıklarını paylaşan ve daha geniş bağlantıları kolaylaştıran biyoloji, botanik, ekoloji, çevre koruma, jeoloji, mühendislik, görsel ve sahne sanatları, dijital medya, teknoloji ve daha fazlası alanlarında yerel profesyonellerle ortaklıklar koordine ediyoruz. REACH katılımcıları yeni becerilerini ve bilgilerini gençlerin öncülük ettiği toplum hizmeti projeleri ve akranlarına ve genel halka sunumlar yoluyla uygular.
PROGRAMLAR VE PROJELER .

Leadership, Service, & Stewardship
Our Service & Stewardship project is designed to encourage refugees to give back to their new communities while also developing leadership skills and understanding environmental stewardship.
Participants engage in service projects such as park cleanups, community gardens, political advocacy, speech-making, and other volunteer opportunities that benefit their new communities. Through this initiative, we aim to instill a sense of ownership and connection to their new homeland, and demonstrate how they can make a difference, both locally & globally.
Family-Focused
Eco-Experiences
REACH families, parents and siblings related to registered youth, engage in monthly ecotherapy and adventure sessions, including age-appropriate experiential learning activities focused on nature, the environment, and exploration. With this framework, REACH youth and their parents and siblings can discover the environment and explore their own play, with both nature and each other, and share information and connect with other parents of children in the refugee community. Parents are introduced to accessible locations where they can take their whole family, as particular emphasis is placed on the power of “exploring our own backyard” by visiting local parks and absorbing the different ecosystems that our local community offers.
Trek-2-Success
(college readiness)
Trek-2-Success is an empowering program designed for older refugee and asylum-seeking youth, providing them essential tools and resources to explore college and career opportunities. Through engaging tours of educational institutions and insightful interviews with REACH alumni and professionals, participants gain valuable insights into various pathways to success. This program not only focuses on academic and career exploration but fosters confidence and leadership skills, ensuring that youth feel supported as they navigate their futures.
Compass
