Mentors serve as friends, role models and consistent sources of support by helping their mentee develop and reach their personal, academic and career goals. Most importantly, they build a fun, trusting, one-on-one relationship with their mentee. This is an opportunity to make a positive difference in the life of a young adult. Building a relationship with their mentee can be a slow process and mentors should be open to guidance, support, and creativity as they establish their relationship.

HeartBEATS is a youth-led organization dedicated to creating meaningful connections between the Phoenix refugee community and our volunteers through music programs and activities. We hope that these shared musical experiences will bring joy and healing and help to build bridges of understanding and expand the cultural and arts education for all. We believe that music has the unique ability to form bonds among all kinds of people regardless of age, nationality, or gender and know that it does not require a common language or skill set to be shared and enjoyed. HeartBEATS is looking for donations for the music starter kits that are given to our new neighbors on the Welcome to America Project deliveries. These music starter kits have items such as handheld jingle bells, tambourines, egg shakers, and rhythm sticks, and they are an easy and affordable way to share music across all communities, whether that be just within the families or with the volunteers as they help with deliveries.

The Welcome to America Project celebrates refugees and accelerates their self-sufficiency by inviting volunteers to provide personal, meaningful welcomes and continued connections with our refugee neighbors. We share transportation, technology and transformational resources to enhance success, so that refugees do not just resettle in our country, they find community and flourish. See our website at wtap.org to learn how you can share your time, talent, furnishings and funds, helping to turn fear into hope. We are all a part of the welcome. What role will you play?
Do you or someone you know want to help teach refugees English? You need not speak another language. And all learning will take place on-line. The Welcome to America Project (WTAP) and Arizona State University (ASU) are pleased to introduce our new Arizona-focused partnership under ASU’s Education for Humanity initiative. Education for Humanity works globally, in collaboration with on-the-ground partners, to improve access to education for refugees through provision of a variety of on-line programs ranging from English language training to entrepreneurship to academic coursework. Together, WTAP and E4H will offer a blended learning model that combines digital learning tools with in-person (virtual) support through our many volunteers. The initial objective of our program is to support the current English-language learning efforts in the refugee and refugee resettlement community. To learn more about the program and the role of volunteer facilitators, please email your name and phone number to rsvp@wtap.org.
