Jusoor

Programmes

• Entrepreneurship

  Through mentorship, incubators, and competitions, Jusoor enables young Syrian entrepreneurs to enhance their leadership skills and secure funding for their startups.
• Mentorship

  Jusoor offers academic advice through the Mentorship Program to Syrian students requiring help in their university application processes and seeking more information on academic choices and studying abroad. The programme is focused on connecting expatriate Syrians and volunteers with highly ambitious students in Syria and those recently displaced, to provide coaching and mentoring throughout their academic life.
• Personal Development

  The Jusoor Professional Development programme was launched to support Syrian youth in finding work opportunities outside of Syria that align with their talent and skills. The programme started in 2012 with the influx of Syrians to neighbouring countries and the Gulf, where they found themselves unable to join the job market due to the difference in application processes and lack of skills that were required in the workplace. The programme offers workshops that focus on career counselling, CV writing, and job interviewing skills to young Syrians, and has grown to include English-language training for adults as a means to better position them in the job market, and professional training for teachers and teachers-to-be.
• Refugee Education

  Jusoor’s Refugee Education Programme in Lebanon seeks to ensure Syrian refugees have a holistic, well-rounded primary school education through integration into formal schooling whenever possible, introducing contextual and relevant curricula and teaching methods to deliver informal education, and providing strong psychosocial support within the framework of community engagement and rehabilitation.
• Scholarship

  The Jusoor Scholarship Programme enables Syrian youth to continue academic study and attain an education that will be essential to their futures as well as to the future of Syria. Jusoor has supported students in the US, Canada, Europe, and the Middle East through full and partial funding and university partnerships. Students pursue different degree levels and academic fields of study, and a growing number of alumni benefit from mentoring and professional development opportunities.
