American Friends Program
The American Friends program matches English-speaking families or individuals with recently arrived refugee families to provide them with support to educate, orient, and integrate New Mainers into the community.

Refugee families need a friend who will give them encouragement, will take the time to explain the language and way of life, will understand and listen. Learn More
RIS Mentoring Program
The RIS Mentoring program matches refugee and asylee young adults (ages 18-30) with volunteer mentors to support their efforts to reach their personal, academic, and career goals. Adult volunteers commit to supporting, guiding, and being a friend to a young adult refugee or asylee for two hours a week for six months to one year. Learn More
