Foster Care Program Partners
When refugee and immigrant children arrive in the United States without a parent or guardian, Global Refuge is there to help them find loving foster homes. We work with partners in communities throughout the country to place unaccompanied children in appropriate care settings.
Global Refuge offers Long Term Foster Care (LTFC), Transitional Foster Care (TFC), and programming for Unaccompanied Refugee Minors (URM).
