Be a Bus Buddy – Help Refugees Get Around Houston with Confidence

Get Connected Icon Get Connected Icon ongoing

Description

Help newly arrived refugees in Houston gain the skills they need to get around the city independently. 

As a Bus Buddy, you’ll ride alongside refugee students as they travel to important destinations like English classes, job training programs, or healthcare appointments. You’ll teach them how to: 

  • Read and understand METRO bus maps and schedules 

  • Use the Transit app to plan and track their route 

  • Purchase and use bus passes with ease 

For many refugees, learning how to use public transportation is a vital step toward rebuilding their lives. Your support can open the door to opportunities, connections, and independence. 

No experience needed—just a friendly attitude and a love for helping others. 
We’ll provide training and support to get you started.
