Abstract: The purpose of this study is to explore how one community-based organization supports adolescents through the transition from high school to college, specifically looking at the experiences of three late-arriving refugee-background students who successfully gained access to higher education. Through the critical conceptual framework of community cultural wealth (Yosso, 2005), we present this case study in hopes of ultimately sharing what community-based organizations can do to support schools and refugee-background students in their transition to higher education. We found that this organization helps refugee youth to: (1) build social connections and a sense of community through mentoring and networking; (2) navigate a new environment by "walking alongside" students; and (3) bolster aspirations to go beyond by celebrating their successes. Additionally, we describe how the support is perceived by the students and how the support impacts them. Finally, we share implications for practice for the focus organization, other community-based organizations, and educators of refugee-background students.
