This is for all the students here. Are there any Somali professional associations that provide mentoring & networking services to Somali students in your area ? If not, would having one be helpful ?

No, my baby sister and i are the only somali and black students at our school 8)

We need such activities in London. The youth need to have somali role models. It would definitly motivate them.

in ohio you are likely to get shot if you even think about helping the youth. no thx

No we don't have one.

I really do think it would be helpful, and show some of the young people that there are Somali Professionals, that they can look up to and get help from.

Guys,

Thanks for your responses.

I am a lot older than a majority of you and I remember when i first came to the States. I did not have any resources or connections to use when it came to job hunting. It was a struggle.

There are a lot of Somali professionals working in different fields who can provide insight and share their experiences on what and what not to do.

No there isn't any that I know of in my area. I got a lot of help from white people and some somali relatives who already have done what I studied.

A/W, quote " services to Somali students in your area ? If not, would having one be helpful ?

Do you want expand your service to other states?

Kambuli,

I don't have any formal service at all. However, I do help any Somali student I can. It gives me great pleasure helping out a member of the younger generation who is striving to make it in the workforce
