Mission of the JCCC Sudanese Lost Boys & Girls Club
The mission of the JCCC Sudanese Lost Boys and Girls Club (JCCC SLB&G Club) is to assist JCCC Sudanese students in acclimating to US culture and to educate peers, staff and the surrounding community of the socio-cultural issues faced by the Sudanese.
The JCCC SLB&G Club strives to provide support for immigrant Sudanese students and programming that encourages the exchange of life experience, culture, geography, language (Arabic, English and other dialects) etc. Our vision is to make education at JCCC a realistic possibility for Sudanese immigrants by providing assistance for such challenges as language development, finances, lack of understanding of U.S. social and educational systems etc.
