ELCA’s Guardian Angels Program —

A component of the ELCA’s Accompanying Migrant Minors with Protection, Advocacy Representation and Opportunities (AMMPARO) initiative, the Guardian Angels Program provides volunteers who offer a spiritual and physical presence to unaccompanied migrant children and families through their immigration court process. The program is the visible expression of our church’s ministry of presence in the lives of women, men and children who are facing the unknown. The program also seeks to build community as church together and church for the sake of the world.

The Guardian Angels volunteers who accompany unaccompanied migrant children and single-parent families through their immigration court process, offer:

Sometimes giving back is as simple as grabbing a coffee, or ordering some lunch.
At Curt's Cafe that lunch provides so much more than a meal, it can change the direction of a young person's life and have a positive lasting impact on their future.
