About Jusoor

Globally Connected Syrian Diaspora

Opportunities Realized, and Hopes Fulfilled.

Jusoor, which means "bridges" in Arabic, is an international NGO with the mission of “Maximizing the potential of Syrian youth through education”.

Founded in 2011 by Syrian Diaspora in the private sector, Jusoor is a unique model of humanitarian intervention known for its innovative approach, dynamic and continuously improving programs, high-velocity execution, and the strength of its global partnerships. We believe in lean impact, and hold ourselves accountable for being nimble and responsive to the realities of Syrian children and youth on the ground and in the diaspora.

A world where every Syrian youth fulfills their potential

Since 2011, Jusoor has been bridging the opportunity gap for war- and displacement- affected children at each developmental stage through to their early career. Through our 4 programs – Refugee Education, Scholarships, Entrepreneurship and Career Development — we have impacted the lives of children and youth through creating diverse and meaningful educational pathways in the Middle East, US, UK, Europe, and Asia; trained entrepreneurs; and empowered businesses and startups through mobilizing over 27 million USD in global support. Our specialized and committed team and frontline educators work passionately to empower and elevate generations of Syrian youth.

Jusoor is a non-political, non-religious organization and is globally registered as a US 501c3 in the US, and a charitable organization in Canada, the United Kingdom, Jordan and Lebanon.

Education is a Fundamental Global Right
