Multi-Cultural Outreach Program

Providing services for unaccompanied children under 18 who have immigrated to the United States with no parent or legal guardian on their journey to provide care. With the the help of the United States Committee for Refugees and Immigrants (USCRI), our on site case managers are able to assist youth with; safety assessments through home studies, enrollment in school, access to legal and health services, and safe, supported adaptation into new homes.

What do we do? 

We provide services for unaccompanied children pre and post reunification with their sponsors or families.  We do this by assessing the safety and appropriateness of homes through home studies, assisting with enrollment in school, gaining access to legal and health services, and ensuring safe and supported adaptation into their new homes.

By definition, an unaccompanied child is an individual under 18 years old who has immigrated to the United States with no parent or legal guardian on their journey to provide care.

What is our goal? 

Successful community integration is vital for the child and family to thrive in the U.S. long term. The families served must overcome linguistic and systematic hurdles.
We are committed to ensuring the well-being and successful orientation of clients by educating families about laws, policies, and their rights.
We aspire to act as the extended hand of Lady Liberty welcoming the needy and cultivating this same attitude throughout the community by increasing awareness about the challenges and resiliency of these brave immigrants.
