  • Refer unaccompanied minors to resources and services, as well as schedule any appointments, as necessary and instructed by the casework staff.
  • Research services and resources applicable to the CP program to facilitate the referral process.
  • Accompany clients to certain appointments with their sponsor in the New York City area, as appropriate given COVID-19 restrictions.
  • Ensure client success with a strong emphasis on education and empowerment through high quality service that encourages clients to thrive in their community.
  • Adhere to IRC policies, particularly those related to confidentiality and client privacy.
  • Practice sensitivity to cultural and personality differences of clients by respecting their beliefs and values.
