Back the talent of refugee youth. Support the Student Refugee Program.

Refugee youth are determined to create a better future. But opportunities after high school are scarce. Donate today to create pathways for young people living as refugees to resettle and pursue postsecondary education.

WUSC is a Canadian non-profit organization working to create a better world for all young people. We bring together a diverse network of students, volunteers, schools, governments, and businesses who share this vision. Together, we foster youth-centered solutions for improved education, economic, and empowerment opportunities to overcome inequality and exclusion in over 15 countries across Asia, Africa, and the Americas.
