Caminos® Nacional

The Bethlehem Center has been providing education, leadership, and spiritual development to our community for 105 years. Using our expertise of working with at-risk children and families, we have joined the national Caminos® program serving unaccompanied children who have migrated to the United States from other countries. We serve migrant children in need, as an accredited partner of Everstand under a sub-recipient grant with the Office of Refugee Resettlement. Our job is to provide home studies (HS) and post release services (PRS) for children who entered the United States without a guardian and will be living with a sponsor family already in our community.

Caminos® Nacional is a federal grant managed by Everstand to provide services for children who enter the United States without a guardian. This population is commonly referred to as recently migrated youth. The grant is funded by the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services Office of Refugee Resettlement.

Caminos ® Nacional utilizes the skills developed by Everstand in delivering the program and extends its reach by providing guidance, and consultation to accredited partner organizations like The Bethlehem Center.
