Around the world, thousands of refugee youth have been separated from or lost their families while fleeing the danger in their home countries. Once in a refugee camp, these children find themselves stranded and unable to be moved to a new country unless someone can be found to care for them. Samaritas, with one of only 22 refugee foster care programs in the nation, is dedicated to serving these children by finding them foster families in Michigan, thereby giving them the opportunity to be resettled into a safe community, and providing services to help them in their transition into a new culture and into a bright and safe future.

Kayla Park works at her passion as a Refugee Capacity Builder from the Samaritas office in Lansing.
