IMMIGRANTS SENIORS YOUTH UNITED

The Immigrant Youth and Seniors United (ISYU) is a Strong Youth/Seniors program that combines cultural, academic and recreational activities to support youths ages 5-13 using a Socially-based approach led by Immigrants staff and parents. The weekly program includes three after school sessions focused on homework help and tutoring as well as a Week end session focused on cultural activities (learning about Somali culture, languages, and songs and dances) and physical exercise (through learning and playing soccer). The after school sessions will offer 3 hours of programming thrice weekly and the weekend session will include 5 hours of programming (from 9:00 am – 2:00 pm we will offer light breakfast, cultural programming and lunch after which we will focus on soccer from 4:00 pm – 6:00 pm). Through this program, Youth come together from a variety of schools and neighborhoods throughout King County to: 1) Experience a sense of belonging to the larger Immigrants community. 2) Build connections to each other in common purpose. 3) Build a Social foundation for greater success in school and in life. Family support services are also available for Seniors and their families like Fridays Socialization as well spiritual trauma counseling through a culturally appropriate faith based healing, Seniors also get additional assistance with basic needs or resource navigation.
