Increase accessibility to basic necessities and services for immigrant communities.
A first-generation immigrant, Mujeeb arrived in the United States in 2022. Forced to flee Afghanistan at the age of 15 with his father and brother, he swiftly adapted to a completely different lifestyle in the US. Since then, Mujeeb has become a pillar in his community, balancing a strong academic record with 30-hour work weeks to support his family. In his free time, he enjoys assisting fellow Afghan immigrants and his community by providing translation services in Pashto and Farsi, and helping increase their accessibility to essential services such as job applications and housing. After college, Mujeeb aspires to own his own consulting business and continue advocating for Afghan immigrants as they navigate life in a new country.
