YOUTH

Program

The Congolese Integration Network Youth Program (CINYP) was developed in response to the need for a program which promotes healing, integrate, and empowers Congolese and sub-saharan refugee youth.

CINYP serves  youth upon satisfaction of the following eligibility requirements: age, grade-point average, experiences of post-traumatic stress, family income, juvenile Justice System involvement (or potential risk thereof), and more. 

We provide an integrated approach to youth support and development by addressing the many hurdles that can impact a child’s integration in society. CINYP streamlines its approach by addressing many universal hurdles to a youth effective integration. CINYP helps youth develop socio-emotional skills to adapt and thrive in an unfamiliar society, address, and heal past traumas, overcome language barriers, successfully navigate the school system and build self-confidence and strength.
