Can you Give Refugee Youth a Home this New Year? Learn more at an Information Meeting.
Must live in Kent County or within a 1 hour radius of Grand Rapids, Michigan.
An information meeting is a free, no-commitment opportunity to learn more about refugee youth, our refugee programs and the next steps to becoming a licensed foster parent.
Attending an information meeting is the first step to become refugee foster parent.
We’ll offer more details and information on refugee foster care and welcome your questions during the information meeting.
We are committed to walking with you every step of the way on this journey, so when you are ready to take the first step, we look forward to "seeing" you at an Information Meeting and helping you begin.

Mission Statement
Bethany demonstrates the love and compassion of Jesus Christ by protecting children, empowering youth, and strengthening families through quality social services.
Description
In the U.S., we protect vulnerable children through essential services, including pregnancy counseling, foster care, emergency care, and adoption. For refugees fleeing danger, the resettlement process can be extremely challenging. That's why we guide, advocate, protect, and support refugees in key resettlement locations around the globe, including the U.S. We believe children thrive when they belong to a loving family. Rather than place vulnerable children in orphanages, we find a family for them in their own country. We also help families struggling to stay together by providing the resources they need to lead their family to self-sufficiency.
