About Long Term Foster Care and Unaccompanied Refugee Minor Intern

  If you are passionate about transforming communities with a mission-driven organization, then we have the opportunity for you!

  Reporting to the Associate Director for LTFC and URM, the LTFC and URM Intern will collaborate with the Senior Program Officer for LTFC and Program Officer for URM for the assignment of duties. The purpose of this role is to support the LTFC and URM networks with trainings and resources that contribute to the technical assistance given by Global Refuge. This is a paid internship.

  Program Description: In long term foster care, unaccompanied children without family reunification options but who have the possibility of receiving legal immigration protections, are provided ongoing case management support as they integrate into their new communities. The services provided by Global Refuge's network of partners include case management services, access to medical and mental health services, access to educational program and legal services, in addition to programming that provides youth with the opportunity to develop independent living skills. The unaccompanied children continue to receive these services until they are reunified with a qualified family member or are granted immigration protections and are able to transfer to the unaccompanied refugee minor (URM) program. Through collaborative efforts and strategic planning, Global Refuge places URM in family foster care, group homes and semi-independent living settings through a network of URM provider agencies. Global Refuge works with affiliates who provide culturally appropriate services to support the acculturation and integration of children into communities all over the country. Partner agencies provide services in parity with domestic foster care programs, but tailor programs to meet the unique needs of refugee and migrant children. Most URM enter the program between 15 and 17 years of age and are provided the option of receiving the support of a foster family or working towards independence in a group home setting. Both options allow each URM to receive case management services, including educational services from high school enrollment to college prep. Through this program, migrant and refugee children are prepared for independence in healthy situations that foster resiliency, permanency, and integration through sustainable long-term relationships in welcoming communities. Depending on the state, URM are able to remain in the program until their 21st or 22nd birthday.
