Fulfilling the mission of Buckner International in the 21st century means Buckner as an organization must be willing to change and adapt to the changing needs of those we’re called to serve. Today, Buckner works both as a consultant and practitioner to improve the lives of orphans, at-risk children, families and senior adults around the globe. Our years of experience position Buckner as a global leader in issues related to orphans and at-risk children.
