Support Us

Sponsor our mentees financially as they pursue higher education in hopes of becoming a doctor, teacher, engineer, architect, and more! All proceeds go towards mentorship program events and mentee scholarships to enhance access to higher education.

Interested in bringing Refuge to your university? We would love to hear from you! Email us to schedule a 30-minute introductory call.

Mentee recruitment takes place each year from June to September, but university chapters often have a few spots that open up throughout the year. If you know a New American student between the ages of 14 and 19 who lives within 45 minutes of The Ohio State University or the University of Cincinnati, refer them to be a mentee through our referral form here!

We are looking for college mentors who are passionate about our mission and willing to spend 1-2 hours per week to cultivate meaningful relationships with our mentees. Our university chapters typically accept mentorship applications every fall; however, they often have spots open in the spring semesters, as well. All students who attend that university are eligible to apply. All applications are followed by a final interview to be accepted into the program.
