Have you ever considered that refugees, asylees, and unaccompanied minors flee to the U.S. to find "home"?

It is often misunderstood about how these groups arrive and what support is provided.

Let's take a look below at the journey from homeland to the United States.

If you are looking for ways to bridge learning from school to home and fill in the gaps of your older newcomers, check out the online education site, GCF Global.

GCF is a FREE program that offers more than 200 topics, including 7,000 lessons, 1,000 videos, and 50 interactive games!

Parents can also join in on the learning and can even prepare for the GED. This is a great tool to utilize for parental outreach and family engagement.
