      • Turkish Program

        2016–2021

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

      •  Student Advising Program

        2020-2021

        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. That is how the Student Advising was created. Student Advising mentors 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.

        Students in the Student Advising program lived all over the world, including Burundi, France, Hungary, Iraq, Jordan, Lebanon, Malaysia, Palestine, Somalia, Syria, Turkey, and Yemen.

      • Youth Exchange Program

        2017-2021

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

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

        There was an increase in demand from youths to join the English program. For safety reasons, Paper Airplanes decided to create a different program in which youths could learn English from other youths. The Youth Exchange program matched high school-aged English students to high school-aged tutors. 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 worldwide events.
