Paper Airplanes noticed an increased need for refugees to learn Turkish. Turkey hosts nearly 3 million Syrian refugees that didn't speak Turkish before crossing the border. Knowing the local language and being fluent in it would greatly help refugees navigate the Turkish legal system, engage with businesses, participate in the local communities, and complete educational goals. From this need, Paper Airplanes decided to open the Turkish Program in 2016. 

Paper Airplanes noticed that their students had big dreams that they didn't know how to achieve, and we wanted to support them and help them achieve those dreams and that is how Student Advising was created. Student Advising worked with the students to help them achieve their educational and employment goals. They helped them find scholarships, write personal statements, and prepare their applications. 

Student Advising Students were from and living all over the world 

Burundi, France, Hungary, Iraq, Jordan, Lebanon, Malaysia, Palestine, Somalia, Syria, Turkey, and Yemen.

Unlike the other programs, the Youth Exchange Program didn't get discontinued but it merged with the English Program.

There was an increase in demand from Youth to join the English Program, and for safeguard reasons, Paper Airplanes decided to create a different program in which the Youth can learn English by Youth. The Youth Exchange Program matched Students in High school with Tutors in High school. It was an excellent way for the students to learn English and learn about different cultures. It was also a great way for tutors to learn about other cultures and learn what is happening worldwide.
