It mobilizes a domestic and international network of legal and social work professionals, with reach across the U.S. and in more than 120 countries. It is based in Baltimore, Maryland. A recent development is a November 2024 partnership with UNHCR, coordinated with UNICEF and other stakeholders to address protection gaps and coordination needs.
