Our mission is to provide humanitarian services to the Burmese Community in Kansas, facilitating their successful integration into American.
After School Program
Our after-school program supports Burmese families transitioning to local schools by providing essential English language assistance. Twice a week, struggling students receive homework help and English language support from certified teachers and mentors. Our aim is to foster their academic success and overall well-being.
College Prep
Our College Prep provide tutoring, especially from Burmese American teachers fluent in both English and the students native language, to help our youth access entrance into a local college as well scholarship opportunities.
US Citizenship Class
Burmese American adults face challenges in securing good jobs, integrating into mainstream American society, and obtaining U.S. citizenship. Through our adult education program, we aim to equip and prepare them to find better employment, work longer hours, secure U.S. citizenship, and acclimate to American values and customs. We currently offer citizenship courses based on need and availability of our mentors.
