Maryam Sulaiman, 17, knows all too well the stress of having to flee her home not once, but twice.

"In 2009, we fled to Syria when I was seven because of the war in Iraq and Syria was safe," she said.

"In 2013, the war started so we went back to Iraq and we stayed there for two months and my parents said they needed to find a future for us so we could live our dreams.

"We left to go to Turkey and we stayed there for four years and then to Australia."

Maryam said she feels safer in Wagga and is loving her new home.

"At first it was very different to my country, but I am used to it," she said. "I go to Wagga High and it's a little bit hard because of the language and I am in Year 11."

Maryam is one of the mentees in the Multicultural Council's Refugee Youth Mentoring Program.

"We can ask questions in our minds about Australia, the schools and when we finish school how we can to go university," she said. "The mentors get the right answers for us. I am thinking of becoming a reporter or a writer."

To celebrate more than nine months of success, the Wagga Multicultural Council are making a documentary to help spread the word about the program and encourage more mentors to sign up.

Sajid Latif is a mentor and currently completing a PhD at Charles Sturt University.

"I have felt that sort of life and I struggled a lot when I was a kid because I didn't have access to resources or education," he said.

"Disappointment and desperation can make you feel alone. Since I have sorted out my life and I am doing well...I felt that being a mentor was my call."

Mr Latif said he wanted to make sure that no refugee feels unwelcome or alone.

"They need to know that there is someone to help them," he said.

"Here while we film, everyone is singing and laughing and that is the beauty of life."
