The International Institute’s main goal is to give Refugees the tools they need to live a happy and self-sufficient life here in Providence, but they are yet to put into motion any long term plans for a children’s program. While the I.I., does currently offer a short-term babysitting facility it currently has no budget for a daycare program, and does not have the means to create one.

The mission of this Proposal for Change is to create and implement a volunteer strategy that encourages local members of the community to become actively involved with the refugee children. It will be the goal of this program to help the children integrate into their new surroundings in a healthy and productive way.
