About this Opportunity

Refugee Resettlements School Impact program helps refugee families enroll their kids in school. For many of these families, its their first time their kids will receive any education. And for the children who have attended school before, their schooling was interrupted and incomplete because of violence in their home country or inconsistency of teaching in the refugee camps. We want to make sure the enrollment process is smooth and easy, and we provide each child with a backpack full of school supplies so they can hit the ground running on their first day of school.

Fill a clear backpack with the following supplies:

  • 2 folders
  • 8 pencils
  • 5 pens
  • 2 small erasers
  • 2 glue sticks
  • 1 pair of scissors
  • 1 pencil sharpener
  • 1 pack of 24 crayons
  • 1 pack of 24 colored pencils
  • 1 pack of 10 markers
  • 1 ruler
  • 1 composition notebook
  • 1 spiral notebook
  • 1 big eraser
  • 1 pair of socks

Please arrange details for drop off with Mark Osborne, via email at [email protected] or 346.837.4758.
