About Jusoor

Jusoor, meaning "bridges" in Arabic, is an international NGO with the mission of maximizing the potential of Syrian youth through education. Founded in 2011 by a group of Syrian diaspora members in the private sector, Jusoor is a unique model of humanitarian intervention known for its innovative approach, high-quality and continuously improving programs, rapid execution, and strong global partnerships. Jusoor believes in lean impact and holds itself accountable for being responsive to the realities of Syrian children and youth on the ground and in the diaspora.

Since 2011, Jusoor has been bridging the opportunity gap for conflict- and displacement-affected children at each developmental stage through to their early careers. Through four key programs — Refugee Education, Scholarships, Entrepreneurship, and Career Development — Jusoor has impacted the lives of children and youth by creating diverse and meaningful educational and career pathways in the Levant, Asia, the US, and Europe. Since 2025, Jusoor has also expanded its programs to support children, youth, educators, and entrepreneurs within Syria.

Jusoor is a non-political, non-religious organization, globally registered as a US 501c(3), and a charitable organization in Canada, the United Kingdom, Syria, Lebanon and Jordan.
