As youth in protracted refugee situations reach adulthood, the challenges of providing education to them have increased. Along the Thai-Burmese border, some creative approaches are being taken in order to respond to their needs. This article describes four programs, each with a different character.

Most critical are creativity, flexibility, and respectful collaboration between educators and both refugee and host communities.
