Arch Connect

Purpose

Arch Connect exists to build meaningful cross-border relationships that empower individuals in marginalized communities and reshape narratives through genuine human connection. We do this by creating one-to-one buddy partnerships that foster mentorship, shared dialogue, and consistent engagement — cultivating spaces where people of all ages can exchange experiences, build confidence, and grow through sustained, supportive relationships.

Our Impact

Our program began by supporting Palestinian students through an English buddy system, helping them grow their skills while building meaningful relationships. So far, we’ve created over 80 pairs, connecting individuals across borders and fostering understanding, support, and lasting friendships.
