* Translation, note-taking, and/or co-facilitation of weekly meetings with clients focused on academic support, goal setting, and more
* Leading parent and/or student group activities at Saturday Community Events (based on intern availability and team need)
* Accompanying School Success Specialist on visits to client homes, schools, or other locations in the community
* Additional tasks as requested by the School Success Specialist

LEARNING OBJECTIVES:
1. Interns will gain experience in providing services directly to refugee/newcomer families.
2. Interns will learn about the inner workings of non-profit funding structures, including the differences in various immigration statuses and documentations.
3. Interns will understand the rights of immigrant/newcomer students in the NYC DOE, including but not limited to issues around enrollment, housing, and special education.

REQUIREMENTS: Competitive applications will represent most/all of the following:

* Bachelor's degree (candidate or in-hand) in Education, Psychology, Social Work, or in a related field;
* Fluency in written/verbal English AND another language required; strong preference given to candidates who speak Dari, Pashto, Ukrainian, and/or Arabic;
