Education & Empowerment Program: Unlocking Potential

At the Somali Youth Union in the Netherlands (SYUN), we believe education is the key to unlocking a brighter future. Our Education & Empowerment Program is dedicated to ensuring Somali youth and their families have the tools, guidance, and confidence to successfully navigate and thrive within the Dutch education system.

Guiding Your Educational Journey

Choosing the right educational path is crucial. We provide personalized advice to students and parents on the Dutch school system, from primary to higher education, helping you understand your options and make informed decisions for a successful academic career.

Academic Support for Success

We offer targeted homework assistance and tutoring to help students excel in their studies. Our supportive learning environment, led by dedicated mentors and tutors, focuses on strengthening core subjects and building essential study skills for long-term academic achievement.

Mentorship for Future Leaders

Through our mentorship program, we connect youth with positive role models who provide guidance, motivation, and practical advice on educational and career planning. Our mentors help young people navigate challenges and set ambitious goals for their futures.

Bridging the Language Gap

Strong language skills are fundamental to integration and academic success. We provide Dutch language support for both students and parents to improve communication with schools, enhance understanding of coursework, and build greater confidence in daily life.

Empowering Parents as Partners

We actively involve parents through workshops and informational sessions designed to demystify the Dutch education system. We cover topics like effective parent-teacher communication, how to support learning at home, and understanding student rights and responsibilities.

Building Bridges with Schools

SYUN partners directly with schools and educational institutions to advocate for an inclusive and supportive learning environment for all Somali students. We work to ensure their unique cultural and academic needs are understood and met.
