Description

For the third year, we continue to support young people in their path to autonomy, expanding the age range from 17 to 23 years old!
The IRC Youth Empowerment and Self-Reliance Program (17-23) is targeting young adults and children from the age of 17 with a refugee background, residing in the urban area of Athens in child protection schemes, shelters for adults or precarious settings. It aims to facilitate a smooth transition to adulthood through a holistic approach, which includes:
  • Psychosocial support (and referrals to psychological, medical, legal services, etc.)
  • Job counseling (and link to employment, vocational training and educational opportunities)
  • Guidance in housing search
  • Group training sessions on topics such as labor rights, interview preparation, familiarization with Greek bureaucracy, stress management, interpersonal skills development, and more.
