Our Mission

Through educational mentoring programs, PAIR equips refugee youth to navigate American society, reach their academic potential, and become community leaders.

Our Vision

PAIR’s programs produce significant improvements for refugee youth in school attendance, English language and digital literacy, graduation rates, and postsecondary success.

Our Values

What sets PAIR apart is the consistency and holistic delivery of its program, which values quality and tailoring of services to address individual needs.

How we work

PAIR partners with the Houston Independent School District to provide in-school and after-school programming for middle and high school students, offering a safe, supportive environment where refugee youth can learn English, build confidence, receive individualized academic and mentorship support, and pursue their goals—from high school success to college and beyond.

 

PAIR is like a family and I learn something new about careers, interviews, culture, and PAIR is a no judge zone.
