The RYP is a joint program of Baltimore City Community College and the International Rescue Committee.

The RYP is fully grant-funded by the Office of Refugee Resettlement’s School Impact Grant. This grant is distributed and monitored by the Maryland Office of Refugee and Asylees which provides support and services to refugees to ease their transition into American society, and serves as a resource to the governor and general assembly on refugee and immigrant policy.

The RYP currently serves more than 300 refugees between the ages of 4 and 21 from over 17 countries.

Some of them are students searching for an opportunity to pursue education and place an essay order when facing a troublesome academic assignment.

A refugee is someone who:

“owing to a well-founded fear of being persecuted for reasons of race, religion, nationality, membership of a particular social group or political opinion, is outside the country of his nationality, and is unable to, or owing to such fear, is unwilling to avail himself of the protection of that country.”

- The 1951 Refugee Convention.
