What it's like to work here
We love God and we love people. Love like that motivates us to cast

Imagine facing violence, extreme poverty, unexpected separation
from your family, gang extortion, or trafficking-all before the age
of 12. That's the reality for unaccompanied children, primarily
from Central America, who are seeking asylum at the U.S. border.
The vast majority have one wish: to reunite with a family member or
sponsor already in the U.S. In other words, to know they're finally
safe and out of harm's way.
You'll be one of the first to welcome unaccompanied refugee and
immigrant children when they arrive at the program, helping them
