2025 Backpack Project
Join us and encourage North Korean refugee students and their families as they prepare for the back-to-school season this year! Donations for the 2025 Backpack Project are requested by Friday, August 15, 2025. Stay tuned for more details about this year's program.
We are currently accepting monetary donations to cover the cost of giftcards for the students. Your gift gives so much hope and encouragement to students struggling to adjust to the demands of a new school system, learning a new language, culture, and trying to support their parents or make it on their own.


Project "Hope Line" Launch
We are launching a new program at PSALT called "Hope Line" to address life-topics, including: personal finance, legal, health & wellness, career development, etc.
Our project launches with a special webinar on the topic of "Personal Finance and Money Management" open to all North Korean refugees living in the United States.
"Hope Line" comes under our larger "Hope Village" initiative covering all refugee resettlement outreach. Please support this program with your prayers and donations so that we may continue to serve the community thoughtfully, and help them adapt well.


RISE Scholars
Selections for our 2025-26 RISE Scholars scholarship program will be made soon!
This program combines a traditional tuition scholarship with a crowdfunding campaign managed by PSALT on behalf of each RISE Scholar to increase potential support to our awardees.
Please consider supporting our current RISE Scholars and stay tuned for our 2025-26 class of scholars!


RISE: Seeking ELL Tutors!
Our tutoring and mentoring services are ongoing. We are looking for experienced tutors, mentors, and volunteers from various professions to share their experiences with North Korean students and young adults.
We are also looking for volunteers to help with scholarship research and program development to us develop our services to the community. Please apply if you are interested in joining our volunteer team or contact us with questions!
