The mission of RYSE (Refugee Youth Solidarity through Education) is to foster literacy, confidence, and community among K-12 refugee youth in Rhode Island through hands-on, joyful summer learning and leadership development.
Rhode Island has a large refugee population, resettling approximately 100-345 refugees every year. School-aged refugee children face many challenges integrating into the US educational system, especially as many have experienced severe interruptions in formal schooling.
Camp RYSE helps meet this urgent need with hands-on, project-based learning that targets summer learning loss, as well as by forging community among young people with shared experiences of displacement and resettlement.
