A good starting point is the US Department of Health and Human Services, Administration of Children and Families website: http://www.acf.hhs.gov/programs/orr/index.htm Another good website is the Department of State which has the primary responsibility, I believe, to resettle refugees. http://www.state.gov/g/prm/ It's a good website to begin developing your understanding of the national/state relationship and to do some research on where specific populations are being resettled. In Texas, you may want start with the following link: http://www.dhs.state.tx.us/programs/refugee/overview.html The Office of Immigration and Refugee Affairs may be able to tell you which volunteer agencies are operating in the state, the number of placements each organization has, and how you would contact them. Your career and personal goals are commendable. Good luck.
