Meirim gives disconnected teens
a second chance
to make a first-class impression.
And build a life of accomplishment.
If school was a nightmare — your dreams aren’t shredded.
No teen wants to be seen as different or stand out as a nonconformist. But when school isn’t a fit, the mind feels trapped, aspirations are judged, and unique strengths are smothered—making them feel like failures.
Meirim stands by adolescents when they need it most.
Challenged youth can access a beautiful support framework. The teens are surrounded by warmth, guided by a caring staff, and form flourishing friendships.
