Collaborative approaches between refugee adolescents and the providers and programs that serve them can empower adolescents and recognize their agency, helping them overcome feelings of post-migration helplessness (Rabiau, 2019). Immigrants and refugee adolescents often express strong motivation to mobilize around issues impacting them and their communities, both in the country of resettlement and in their country of origin (Dávila, 2021). Research on refugee adolescent women who participated in the Coalition of Southeast Asian Youth, a grassroots organization in the United States, found that participation in social justice initiatives increased their sense of identity and allowed them to take actions around issues that mattered to them (Kolano & Dávila, 2019). In a qualitative study, refugee adolescents in the United States described a feeling of obligation to improve their communities and lobby for legislation that supports refugees (Cureton, 2020). After-school programs and other organizations can facilitate refugee adolescents' civic and political engagement, helping adolescents resist injustice and feel a sense of agency in the face of discrimination.
