Our Purpose

The Refugee Youth Power Summit (RYPS) is a two-week, intensive program for high school refugees in Providence. The summit has three central goals: to bring together young leaders in the refugee community, to cultivate critical ideas and tools necessary for creating social change, and finally to engage in collective action.
