Hello Future is Bridging the Education Gap for Refugee Youth

In 2023, USA for UNHCR awarded Hello Future a multi-year grant to support its efforts in supporting refugee youth education. Hello Future was founded in 2016 as a nonprofit organization that bridges the education gap for refugee youth, beginning with education and leading to self-reliance. 

Hello Future provides refugee teens with the essential skills they need to become successful, contributing members of their communities. It supplements a limited and traditional high school education to ensure students maintain a sense of purpose and a pathway to a livelihood. 

Hello Future students have experienced a 60 percent increase in confidence thanks to a series of classes focused on cultivating their communication skills and storytelling. Moreover, 77 percent of parents mentioned that after participating in the Hello Future program, their kids have improved in communicating their ideas, being more courageous in expressing their opinions and socializing with their peers and other community members.
