KOM partners with Saint Paul Public Schools to increase student learning of Karen and other refugee students every year.
KOM’s youth development coordinators work alongside teachers to provide academic support and parent engagement to middle and high school students. KOM also teaches leadership training, health education, and cultural activities to youth during after-school programming. As an extension of the afterschool programming, KOM also offers summer programming and a youth mentorship program for students.
During the 2020-2021 school year, KOM is working in two schools: Harding High School and Humboldt High School.
KOM also offers a Youth and Family Coach Program, along with three partner agencies, that helps students succeed in K-12 and beyond through one-on-one support.
Contact Sara Johnson, Program Director, to learn about KOM’s youth programs and services.
