Project Rousseau

We continued to offer academic support to students of all ages, including college age. In 2022, Project Rousseau students attended or were accepted at colleges including mit, harvard, dartmouth and columbia. Project Rousseau received department of justice recognition to provide immigration legal services in late 2022. This allows the organization to provide legal services to asylum seekers and other new arrivals to the usa. In 2022, new york began to see unprecedented flows of new arrivals to the city. Project Rousseau responded by offering legal screenings to families and young adults in late 2022. Project Rousseau continued to offering mentoring, including an extensive mentoring program in south dakota.

Project Rousseau has still not been able to return to weekly community service at amsterdam nursing home. Students participated in other forms of community service, including, our annual pie day event which returned to pre-pandemic participation and scale.community service programming, including weekly community service programs and special service events. Programs take place at various sites, including nursing homes, shelters, and public parks. All expenses including materials, travel and meals are covered by the organization.

In 2022, Project Rousseau was able to return to in-person local programming such as museum and cultural institutions programs. We were not able to return to international exchanges due to the lasting impact of the global pandemic.
