　　About the Program and Position:

　　This is a transitional foster care program for Unaccompanied Children (UC) under the supervision of the Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR). An unaccompanied child (ages 0-17) has left their home country and crossed the US southern border without an adult.

During their stay with us, we provide medical care, case management, life skills classes and mental health services. The role our Medical Assistants play in all of this is crucial to the health & wellbeing of our unaccompanied children who are trying to establish a new home in the U.S.
