YOUTH PROGRAMS
We foster connections and community through our youth and family - centered programs. Our youth program includes mentoring, field trips, day camps and self - esteem workshops centered around art, sports, the great outdoors and play.
We focus on “Positive Youth Development,” which aims to help children grow into successful, mature adults through self-esteem building, leadership training, and community service to others. Refugee and Immigrant youth have unique strengths, and we provide a safe space for them to share stories, form friendships, and build on their cross-cultural communication skills.
Our age group for our youth program is 11 - 19 years of age. Our program creates an empowering space for youth to develop critical leadership and communication skills.
Our Field Trips & Day Camps for Refugee Teens
Recently we had an opportunity to take high school students to a pumpkin patch farm, where students engaged in team-building activities and got to experience farm life firsthand.
Scholarships for Higher Education for Refugee Juniors and Seniors
Project Hope 4 Kids was founded on the principle that every child deserves access to quality education, from the time a child flees their country to the time they are resettled.
We continue to help make education accessible to those who desire it. For emerging Juniors and Rising Seniors in local high schools across Utah who are planning to attend higher education institutions, we accept applications every year, the deadline for fall is July 2024. If you are a student or know of someone who would benefit from this scholarship, please fill out the form below.

The commitment to be a tutor is designated in supporting refugee and immigrant youth in our school districts along the Wasatch Front through personalized online one-on-one tutoring or in-person.
Current students, recent graduates, and young professionals are matched with refugee and immigrant students in grades 6-12 to help them navigate remote learning, stay motivated to attend class and do their work, and empower them to build relationships with peers and school staff.
Volunteer tutors help students with school work, provide subject-specific learning, set up tangible semester-specific goals, increase their confidence in the classroom, and develop their English language and interpersonal skills. the fall and spring semesters. We ask for a commitment of 1-3 hours of tutoring per week.
