Education and Employment Internship - Fall 2015

The Refugee Resettlement Office of Catholic Charities Community Services provides assistance to those
with refugee, asylee, and certified victim of trafficking statuses from diverse backgrounds, offering case
management, employment-based, and educational services that help clients find employment and feel
secure in their new community. To further help us with this goal, we are looking to bring on interns who
are interested in engaging in our office functions while interacting one-on-one with clients to help them
work towards financial self-sufficiency. We also provide social services to unaccompanied minors as a
part of the Safe Passages Family Reunification Program, including home-study and post-release services
for children and youth being released from shelters to their sponsors.
