WEBINAR: How Funders Can Respond to the Surge of Unaccompanied Children Migrating to the United States

Thousands of children are making the dangerous journey north from Central America and Mexico alone. The number of unaccompanied immigrant children migrating to the United States has increased, and experts anticipate 80,000 to 120,000 new arrivals in 2014. A complex array of federal agencies handle the care and custody of the children once they arrive in the United States as well as the adjudication of their immigration claims.
