Abstract

Introduction: The Lost Boys are a group of young male Sudanese who were driven from their homelands because of war. They traveled on foot to Ethiopia then were relocated to Kenya, where many lived for five to ten years in a refugee camp. Beginning about 3 years ago, hundreds of these young men were granted refugee status in the United States. The group of 150+ Lost Boys in Salt Lake City is continuing to grow, as is the need to facilitate their education, skill training and employment, and integration.
