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:
Use the Transit / Map app to plan and track their route
Understand the bus route they will be taking to their class
Pay to get on the bus and request to get off at a bus stop
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.
