Help Us Help
Scholars
The Scholars Program helps orphaned children obtain post-secondary education in Ukraine. The program eases the financial burden for students and organizes leadership and life-skills workshops to assist in their development.
Our selection committee nominates camp attendees based on leadership, scholastic merit, extracurricular activities, and their commitment to a positive lifestyle. During their time in the program, scholarship students annually attend Help Us Help’s Summer and Winter camps and play a mentorship role to younger children on a similar life path.
