Houston, United States AmeriCorps Full time

Partnership for the Advancement & Immersion of Refugees (PAIR) empowers refugee youth to navigate American society, reach their academic potential and become community leaders through educational mentoring programs and with the support of volunteer mentors. To empower refugee youth, PAIR believes in an individualized approach and designs a custom-built curriculum to best fit the needs of refugee youth in middle school, high school, and college. In working with the refugee population, PAIR recognizes the importance of literacy as a crucial element to their thriving future. Literacy enriches an individual's life, creates pathways to successfully navigate and integrate into American society, and possesses the ability to break the poverty cycle often experienced by newcomer families. The mentors, along with PAIR's staff, support refugee young adults through the adjustment to a new life in Houston, serving as cultural guides while focusing on educational support. Through individual as well as group volunteer mentoring programs, refugee students receive assistance with homework and focus on English language and computer skills acquisition. The Volunteer Coordinator VISTA is crucial in developing a robust volunteer program that equips each of PAIR's College programs with volunteer mentors.

**Member Duties**: The Volunteer Coordinator will support PAIRs efforts to increase literacy and educational opportunities for their low-literacy and low-income refugee population. The Volunteer Coordinator VISTA will support and build the capacity of PAIR by developing sustainable recruitment processes and management systems for the volunteer, mentoring, and/or job coaching program.
