Serve The City Paris has just launched our P.A.C.K. Program (Providing Aid through Corporate Knowledge). A program designed to address the challenges of finding work for young immigrants and refugees in Paris, by implementing workshops and joint activities that leverage the knowledge of corporate employees, and their experiences from searching for employment in France. Employees from French and international companies have an open discussion about finding work and integrating into the French work culture. Employees are given the opportunity to share personal job search challenges and successful strategies. Individuals exchange insights and stories with the young immigrants on their challenges and overcoming job search hurdles. Employees can also help our community of young immigrants how to conduct a proper interview. See attached document to learn more, or feel free to send an email to [email protected].

🌎Language and Culture Exchange 🌎 Our French Language and Cultural Exchange program is something that we are very proud of at Serve the City Paris. Thanks to the dedication and hard work of Safiullah Taha, our Programs and Partnerships Manager, the program has grown into a very popular weekly event. Volunteers and beneficiaries get together for a brief French lesson on French lifestyle and culture, followed by discussion in small groups. The evening concludes with a shared meal. Stories are shared, friendships are formed, and memories are made. The program has proved to be deeply beneficial to all involved. As we begin a short break (enforced by logistical restraints linked to the Olympics), here’s a little look back over the last few months. Language and Culture Exchange will be back in August stay connected for further details.

A real a pleasure to have you as one of our team Lara Harmankaya ! You made a real impact in a relatively short time. We'll miss you. Come back soon 😘
☀ End of a Chapter with Serve the City Paris ☀ After an enriching month, I am pleased, yet saddened at the same time, to announce the end of my volunteering internship with Serve the City Paris, an incredible organization dedicated to supporting and assisting Paris's refugee and homeless populations. Over June, I had the privilege to work with a motivated team of volunteers. This experience has been greatly eye-opening, teaching me the importance of community, collective action and compassion. It has also reminded me of the efficacy and indispensability of civic responsibility in urban environments, where severe inequalities persist. Much remains to be done, especially with the ongoing evacuations and cost of living crisis. From discovering the different settlements across Paris in food distributions to engaging with beneficiaries in different languages at language exchange sessions every week, and even participating in a flash mob, I want to extend my gratitude to the lively volunteers, staff, fellow interns, and everyone involved in making a difference. For one of my Capstone Projects, I decided to organize an event for our female beneficiaries, who were not as visible in the activities provided by Serve the City Paris. To create a relaxed atmosphere for our beneficiaries, with the help of other volunteers from Serve the City Paris and Utopia 56, I planned a jewelry-making workshop. Under the bright rays of the midday sun, we thus had a successful picnic and made many bracelets and necklaces! With this initiative, I hoped to demonstrate that women refugees, who often face not only marginalization outside of their home countries but also gender-specific violence, should continue to be included in community-building efforts. While my time as a volunteer in Paris has come to an end, I remain committed to advocating for big-scale solutions to urban challenges. I hope to continue engaging in efforts to uphold human rights and mitigate disparities. Thank you for the memories, the lessons and the opportunity to serve! #ServetheCityParis

Serve the City Partnership with BimBamJob Our mission at STCP is to assist asylum seekers and refugees in various ways. One of these ways is by introducing them to organizations that help refugees find employment. BimBamJob is such an organization, focusing on job placement. Their activities range from providing training sessions on job searching to assisting with the recruitment process. Any refugee with at least an A2 level in French can contact BimBamJob and use their services. STCP has partnered with BimBamJob to support our beneficiary community by helping them connect with BimBamJob for employment opportunities. Since the beginning of the partnership, BimBamJob has been sharing job vacancies with STCP, and we, in turn, share them with our beneficiary community. Any refugee who is looking for a job or is struggling with their current job and needs advice can directly contact [email protected] or reach out to us at [email protected] for introductions and assistance.

SAVE Capstone projects Last month, 3 impressive Capstone projects took place, where we were able to educate our volunteer community on various topics: human trafficking (created by Felecia Foster), the problem of Homeless Women in Paris (created by Anja Ahn), and the problem of Homeless Children in Paris (created by JiSuk Park and Yerin Ju). They highlighted very interesting facts and statistics about the number of homeless women and children in Paris, and the rise in human trafficking in cities hosting sports events, such as the Olympics in Paris.

Volunteer Spotlight: Nate Our volunteers are a diverse bunch. They come to us from the four corners of the globe, different ethnicities, ages, genders, religions, but the one thing they all share is a desire to help. They are the beating heart of Serve the City. They are dedicated individuals, role models to young people and future leaders. But who are they really? In our volunteer spotlight we introduce you to one of our volunteers and find out some unusual and interesting facts about them. Let me introduce you to ….. Nate! Where were you born? Tampa, Florida - USA What language(s) do you speak? English; basic Spanish; toddler French What does STCP mean to you? STCP means inclusion. It is an organization open to anyone, from any culture or background, as long as they come with an open heart and a passion to help others in need. When you’re not volunteering, how do you spend your time? I work in sustainability, so frequent newsletters, podcasts, books, city initiatives which put people and the planet central. I also co-direct a children's home in Nepal which brings me a lot of joy Visit Nepal! - https://lnkd.in/eTUH-nSj I enjoy museum hopping (when in Paris right!?), planning visits with friends around Europe, playing / watching football (soccer*) and biking the city as much as I can. Ahh, and live music! What is your favorite hobby? Socializing if that counts! Otherwise, coaching soccer. What is your favorite meal? Highly specific here but a Lebanese vegan sandwich called the Ali's Incredible (Falafel | Hummus | Eggplant | Cauliflower | Mix salad | Pomegranate sauce) With which person living or deceased would you like to eat that meal?

Unwavering Discipline What do you consider your greatest achievement? Creating a community in Orlando, FL through the youth soccer community.

If you were to die and come back as a person or a thing, what would it be? A whale.
