The International Rescue Committee (IRC) responds to the world's worst humanitarian crises, helping to restore health, safety, education, economic wellbeing, and power to people devastated by conflict and disaster. Founded in 1933 at the call of Albert Einstein, the IRC is one of the world's largest international humanitarian non-governmental organizations (INGO), at work in more than 50 countries and more than 25 U.S. cities helping people to survive, reclaim control of their future and strengthen their communities. A force for humanity, IRC employees deliver lasting impact by restoring safety, dignity and hope to millions. If you're a solutions-driven, passionate change-maker, come join us in positively impacting the lives of millions of people world-wide for a better future.

IRC BACKGROUND:

The mission of the International Rescue Committee (IRC) is to help people whose lives and livelihoods are shattered by conflict and disaster to survive, recover, and gain control of their future. Founded in 1933, the IRC has 28 offices in the United States and a presence in over 40 countries.

COLLEGE AND CAREER READINESS PROGRAMMING:

The IRC's Success Coaching and Mentoring (SCM) Program is a part of a larger College and Career Readiness Program (CCR). CCR programming targets newly arrived refugee youth between the ages of 15-19 to help them prepare for their next steps in life. Program initiatives include monthly workshop opportunities, open office hours, mentoring, and as needed individual support aimed at topics like English language development, high school graduation, and college and career preparation. CCR programming operates on a Multi-Tiered System of Support (MTSS) model to support all eligible youth. Tier 1 includes support for all CCR eligible youth. Tiers 2 & 3 make up the Success Coaching & Mentoring Program and is extended to young adults up to the age of 24. Tier 2 involves a volunteer or intern mentorship pairing with targeted support to address client's gaps in skills. Tier 3 requires intensive support provided more frequently and individually with a staff or intern mentorship pairing.

The IRC's SCM program is rooted in its Social Emotional Asset Development (SEAD) framework. Mentors and mentees work together to use an evidence-based curriculum that supports youth in setting and achieving goals for their education, social emotional asset development, and life skills. The SCM program involves meeting with clients and collaboratively developing Individualized Service Plans (ISPs) to work on throughout the course of their time in the mentorship program. Positive outcomes include academic support programs, engagement in school, positive relationships, positive identity, a sense of belonging, and stress management.

SCOPE OF WORK:

IRC SLC Youth Program's Success Coaching and Mentoring internship will pair Interns with a cohort of refugee young adults (ages placed in Tiers 2 & 3.

Interns will directly support students placed in Tier 2 & 3 by developing an ISP, meeting regularly via one-on-one home visits, office appointments, calls, and messages to follow up on the student's ISP and discuss progress.

Coaches also support youth's involvement in various workshops and other educational opportunities IRC SLC provides. Interns will also assist with broader CCR programming as needed.
