This program tutors and mentors refugee youth in Tacoma's Hilltop neighborhood. The students are mainly Somali Bantu with a few Sudanese students.
The Somali Bantu have been historically oppressed in their home nation of Somalia and when civil war broke out in 1991 they fled their home to seek refuge in Kenyan refugee camps. Years later, the United States allowed the Somali Bantu to be classified as "refugees" and to make the United States their new home.

Hello! My name is Lucas Baradello and I am seeking your financial support for Juvenis, a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit organization that my brothers Federico, Nicholas and I founded in California in 2004.
Juvenis, in short, aims to elevate and empower immigrant youth in the United States by providing them with critical educational and professional guidance and resources for them to succeed. Juvenis was inspired out of our desire to respond to our relative privilege growing up and extend some these privileges to those who have been less fortunate.
