This article describes a sport program for refugee children and youth in the United States based on the PSR Model. The goals of the program are presented, along with specific strategies and procedures utilized in the implementation of the program. Lessons learned, challenges faced, and recommendations for other sport psychology specialists are also included. © Association for Applied Sport Psychology.
