At Refugee Resources, our mission is to share the love of Jesus through gospel-centered relationships and to develop literacy acquisition among the student refugee population primarily in the Vickery Meadows area of Dallas. We believe this can only happen when meaningful relationships are built over time and are best accomplished with a one-to-one mentor/student model. Because our students often enter our program below grade level and with challenges such as language and cultural deficits, it is crucial to have consistency in both the mentor and the student. For this reason, we ask for a one-year commitment from our mentors.

You don't have to be a teacher or have an educational background to learn how to work with a student. We will train you to serve with your student in their own individualized plan to develop them at their own pace. We have normal breaks throughout the year and work with you regarding various reasons to be absent - but do ask for consistency for each of our mentors.

If you would like to serve, but a consistent weekly commitment is not possible - we would love for you to apply for a substitute position.

The registration fee is $40 for all positions. (This pays for your background check and training fee.) Once registered, you will be contacted with the next steps.

We meet at the Northwest Community Center at 5730 Pineland Dr. on the following nights and times. Each mentor chooses their night to serve and then their student is assigned to them.

Mondays 5:00 pm - 6:30 pm

Tuesday 6:30 pm - 8:00 pm

Thursday 6:30 pm - 8:00 pm
