KOM partners with Saint Paul Public Schools to increase student learning of Karen and other refugee students every year. KOM’s youth program staff work alongside teachers, students, and families to provide academic support and parent engagement to youth from Kindergarten to age 24.
KOM teaches leadership training, health education, and cultural activities to youth during the afterschool program. As an extension of the afterschool programming, KOM also offers summer programming and a youth mentorship program for students. During the 2022-2023 school year, KOM is working in three schools: Harding High School, Humboldt Middle and High School, and Washington Technology Magnet School.
KOM also offers a Youth and Family Coach Program, along with four partner agencies, that helps newly arrived refugee students succeed in K-12 and beyond.
KOM leads a Youth Career Pathways program called What’s Next, which helps youth age 14-24 explore career paths.
