Bethany Christian Services
| Ways to help youth thrive |
Bethany Christian Services MentoringBethany Christian Services' mentoring program serves three youth populations: Domestic Foster Care, Refugee Foster Care, and Youth Services (for older at-risk youth in the Grand Rapids community). Mentors in our program serve as positive role models who are willing to offer a listening ear and spend quality time with their mentee. The program is community-based, meaning that match activities take place out in the community. We ask that mentors commit to spending at least four hours per month with their mentee for one year. We also plan several free events throughout the year that have a career/educational focus for all age groups. Learn More and Contact Program |

| About us | We believe every child deserves to be loved, connected, and empowered through family. Bethany is a global nonprofit that supports children and families with world-class social services, all designed to help families thrive. Today, 140 million kids don't have a permanent home. That's unacceptable. At Bethany, we witness what happens when people choose love. Not theoretical, unblemished love, but the real, messy, imperfect kind. The orphans and vulnerable children who feel alone, and the refugees living in a world of uncertainty. Everyone deserves to be loved. Together, we can change the world through family. Over 75 years ago, we began our work by serving a single child. Today, we work in more than 30 states and more than a dozen countries worldwide, serving more than 50,000 people every year. |

We got ahead of ourselves and announced two locations (Omaha, Nebraska and Fresno, California) that are still pending. This map shows our current refugee resettlement locations, but we'll be sure to announce new ones as they become available!
We’re welcoming hundreds of Afghan refugees who are fleeing violence and persecution in the wake of the U.S. withdrawal. These refugees are experiencing unimaginable loss and facing the daunting challenge of building a new life in a new country. They need our help.
As Afghan allies and refugees settle for the first time in the U.S., they need basic household items.
