The agency we are using for our foster/adopt is looking for foster homes AND mentors for kids arriving in the US as refugees without families to care for them.
The agency is located in Montgomery and Philadelphia counties.
Like typical foster kids, these youngsters will receive medical cards and clothing allowances, and the families caring for them will receive the foster care rate. Unlike typical foster kids, these kids may have spent years in a refugee camp, and probably know very little English and even less about how to survive and find their way in the US.
Those who are interested in helping but can't foster can work with the youth as mentors, helping them learn how to get around and how to get along.
Please PM me if you are local and interested --or even if you can post information about the program on a church, school, or other bulletin board or email list--I will send you the direct contact info for the worker in charge of the program.
Thanks all!
