Where can you, our partners, help youth on their journey?
Our responsibility is to temporarily place youth with family members, sponsors or foster parents currently in the United States as they go through immigration court. The Caminos Program has served hundreds of children, reuniting them with family members and Foster Parents.
Long-Term Foster Care
The Caminos program provides short-term shelter to recently migrated youth under 18 years of age whose lives are in jeopardy after fleeing alone from countries around the globe. These countries are overrun by organized crime, violence, human trafficking and persecution, and have some of the highest homicide rates in the world. Many of the youth that come to be in our care enter the country to be reunified with family members living in the United States.
Long-Term Foster Care
Youth to Foster: Male & Female 2 – 17 years of age
