What it’s like to work here We love God and we love people. Love like that motivates us to cast a big vision and believe that, together, we can change the world through family. For 80 years, our faith has inspired us to provide every child and family the safety, love, and connection they deserve.

At Bethany, our culture is driven by five core values:

We ’ re motivated by our faith.

We support one another.

We champion justice.

We pursue excellence.

We ’ re in it for the long haul.

How your role makes a difference Imagine facing violence, extreme poverty, unexpected separation from your family, gang extortion, or trafficking—all before the age of 12. That ’ s the reality for unaccompanied children, primarily from Central America, who are seeking asylum at the U.S. border. The vast majority have one wish: to reunite with a family member or sponsor already in the U.S. In other words, to know they ’ re finally safe and out of harm ’ s way.

You ’ ll be one of the first to welcome unaccompanied refugee and immigrant children when they arrive at the program, helping them feel safe and assessing their needs. You ’ ll join a team that takes action, providing exceptional care and helping children reunite with their family.
