Children around the world have fled their homes, seeking refuge and a safe, comforting place to heal in the U.S. Unaccompanied children are youth under 18 years old who have crossed the U.S. border, often without an accompanying parent or legal guardian. They seek refuge, shelter, education, and a chance to thrive.

Bethany’s goal is to keep kids safe by reuniting them with a loved one in the U.S. and helping them adjust to their new home. Children most often reunite with family members or a family friend who is identified as their sponsor and can provide them with a stable home.

We offer these services to unaccompanied children across the U.S. and in Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands.
