Transforming Lives: Our Work with Unaccompanied Minors

This year, our program proudly welcomed 12 unaccompanied minors who were aging out of the Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR) system. These young people faced a difficult reality: they had no family, no sponsors, and nowhere to turn as they transitioned into adulthood.

We stepped in to provide not just a place to stay, but a foundation for their future. Each youth received safe housing, nutritious meals, intensive case management, access to health care, education opportunities, and job placement support. Our team worked closely with them to ensure that every immediate need was met while also building pathways to long-term stability.

The results have been inspiring. Within just six months, every one of the 12 youth found employment. By the eighth month, they all reached self-sufficiency, covering their own living expenses and confidently moving forward on their journey of independence.

This success is a testament to the resilience of the young people we serve and the power of community-driven support. By investing in their well-being, we are not only meeting urgent needs but also creating opportunities for them to thrive and contribute meaningfully to society.

Our work with unaccompanied minors shows what is possible when compassion is paired with action—and when vulnerable youth are given the tools they need to succeed.
