What is the SuperKids Adventure Program?

The SuperKids Adventure Program is a unique opportunity for families to make a dramatic, life-long impact on the life of a child. In this program, children from Asian and Latin American countries are invited to approved homes in the US to stay for 2-3 weeks. During their stay, the family these kids get the opportunity to be showered with love and attention, learn about US culture, and feel what it is like to be part of a family. In turn, the family has the chance to learn more about the child, their story, and their culture.
