O UR MISS I ON Unite . Serve . Grow . Since 2001, the Amala Foundation has offered over 4,500 youth a unique blend of Social Emotional Learning (SEL) programs and crosscultural connection aimed at providing the next generation of leaders with a model of inclusion, compassion, commitment and service to their communities. Amala’s programs focus on young individuals including refugees and immigrant youth, many of whom have directly experienced war, abuse, neglect, extreme poverty, child labor, and gang violence; and provide them the opportunity to unite with peers from vastly different backgrounds and participate in meaningful dialogue, community building exercises, and leadership development. Research shows that SEL programs such as Amala’s have proven extremely successful in helping youth: • Heal from trauma and abuse and develop a positive identity. • Reduce conduct problems and emotional distress. • Improve social/emotional skills and personal attitudes about self and others. • Enhance academic performance and reduce drop-out rates.

PROGRAMS The youth who participate in our programs represent many countries, ethnicities, religions, races, cultures and socioeconomic backgrounds. Some have grown up in refugee camps, while others have been raised in middle and upper class families. Many come from countries that have been at war for years. We inspire youth to recognize that regardless of where they come from or what adversities they have faced, we are all human beings who have something to contribute to this world. Approximately 80% of the youth who participate in our programs are scholarship recipients.

We ask all of our volunteers to show up with a willingness to be impacted and free of attachment to what their service looks like. “The Amala Foundation has shown me the powerful gift that service brings to the world and to my own growth.” Solomon M.
