Mulenge Scholars
Founded by Banyamulenge students, MSNC helps youth navigate new educational systems through mentorship, academic support, leadership, and a strong sense of belonging.
Many Banyamulenge families arrived in Canada after experiencing displacement and living in multiple countries, each with different educational systems. Transitioning to the Canadian system can be difficult not only for students, but also for their families.
Lack of guidance on academic pathways
Difficulties transitioning to post-secondary education
Financial pressures pushing towards short-term jobs
Families unfamiliar with the Canadian system
